RE: spoon-discuss: Re: spoon-business: Proposal: Titles, and a better bandwidth limit

[Greg Ritter <gritter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem with this isn't the Title rule, which is fairly innocuous in 
and of itself.

The Title rule is just a kludge (and, yes, potentially unncessary) to 
create the Legislative Zealot title (and rule).

The Legislative Zealot rule
        (a) has incorrect math
        (b) is designed to allow someone to make 40 proposals if they want

Point (b) is evidenced by the tiny rider at the bottom of the proposal that 
repeals Bandwidth Rationing.

So, in effect, this is really just a (crappy) way of getting rid of 
bandwidth rationing.

It is *not* a better bandwidth limit, because THERE IS NO LIMIT. There's a 
deterrent, which is not at all the same thing as a limit.

I don't care if you're willing to risk 40 proposals. I don't care if all 40 
of them are good proposals. I don't want players to have the ability to 
post 40 proposals (good ones or bad ones) every nweek because .... well, 
because I have a life outside of B Nomic.

Heck, right now *with* bandwidth legislation and 15 recognized players, we 
have the possibility of having to slog through 45 proposals (not to mention 
the subsequent discussions) each nweek. Bandwidth Rationing is a Good 
Thing(TM).
