Try this on, Platonist....

 

If, as you assert, only things permitted by the rules actually happen in our little nomic gameworld, then because this proposal would make submitting a kickback-laced CFJ against the rules, that would mean such a CFJ *was never submitted*.  Any judgement on it would be equally non-existent, since it's judging something that never happened.

 

How precisely is that doing nothing?  Seems like more than a "symbolic effect" to me.  Or at least, no more symbolic than the effect of *any* rule.

The problem is that it's not mosquito repellent, it's just a bottle of water with "mosquito repellent" on the label. ;-)

I don't think there's anything actually *wrong* with your proosal. I mean, I won't vote for it, because I don't think any of it has anything other than a symbolic effect (well, it'll add some verbiage for people circumventing it), but I don't think it'll break the game if it passes.
