Problem: why? It just slows down things which we should be able to do immediately (point transfers, whatever). If (for example) we discover we need to use some points to protect a proosal from being eaten, but I don't have enough, it should be possible for someone to transfer points to me, and me then to use them to prevent it. If we have to wait for the admin, it may be too late. (I can't remember if the oversalting thing passed, but whatever).

Problem: this gives the admin way too much power. Not only can he refuse to recognise something, it seems to me that submitting a CFJ is an action, so he can just refuse to recognise that too, and we can't stop him. If you want to play imperial nomic, do so - I don't (well, not in this nomic).

Problem: my statute proosal would do all the useful bits of this, and fix the statute, and not overpower the admin...
