And you call yourself a veteran.  Far as I know, a combination of the Boilerplate and Standard Delimiter rules still serve to say that if something is in curly brackets with nothing else saying what it is it's a proposal, and if something is inside that proposal with curly brackets with nothing else saying what it is it's a new rule to be created.  That's how my old prose props used to work.

In fact, that recent prop of yours that you amended to include "Create a rule:" would have been fine in the first version.

BTW, is it *really* Nday 9 already?
