It forbids proposals to discriminate between players depending on how they
voted on a certain issue. The CFJ RePol refers to is an ancient one that
decided that the effects of rules created by proposals do not count as
effects of the proposal itself. Thus, r155 is broken because one can get
around it simply by making a rule to do the counting for you.
