RE: spoon-discuss: CFJ: The clock...


A few things stick out, even allowing for your interpretation of the
matter:

1) The primary paradox comes in the administrative headaches involved.
If I search the website history for rules as of nweek 3, what am I going
to get?  Both weeks smushed together on one page?  A 50/50 chance of
seeing one or the other?  

My primary reason for the CFJ is to preserve the sanity of our gracious
administrator, and the integrity of the tools already built for the
website.  

2) Under rule 15/2, since both ballots will be the "nweek 3 ballot" I
should be able to vote on ballots for both this nweek and last nweek,
enabling me to effectively take action in the past.
