524/1 read, and I quote: "Delete the third paragraph of Rule 293." Now, that
would, in fact, be the paragraph in question. However, the Administrator
appears to have not altered the rule, despite the amendment to proposal 524
which added that section not being the ignored alteration. This creates a
bit of a problem, obviously, but the proposal which passed should have that
text in it.

It doesn't matter if the rules have changed since then; at the time of the
passing of rules 500 and 501, 293 made them illegal. The action of creating
them violated a rule; thus it was illegal. Saying, "Oh, well, now it's
legal, so we'll pretend it was legal then, too" is an illegal alteration of
the past.

>As such, I Call For Judgement. Statement: The Administrator did not alter the
ruleset in accordance with proposal 524/1, which read, among other things,
"Delete the third paragraph of Rule 293."

This will do no good. All you'll establish is that the Admin didn't do it.
That's fairly obvious. A better idea might be something along the lines of
"Rule 293 no longer contains the sentence..." because that would actually do
something.
