Yes, I was arguing that. I was, however, careful to point out that this does not apply where the rules specifically state that the admin needs to recognise things before they happen. Thanks to Wonko's revision of r17, "Actions cannot occur unless they are recognized by the Administrator". So no, they don't exist unless he recognises them (which has always been the case for proosals).

They've never been recognised, so they never existed. I'd proose something to fix this (like going back to the original version of r17), but... well, you see where I'm going. ;-)
