r15 takes precedence, by virtue of a lower id number and higher 
chutzpah. But it's not clear that there's a conflict; one says you can 
cast votes in eir name, and we'll consider those votes to have come 
from em; whereas the other says e can't vote... so one could argue that 
either you can't do anything because e can't vote, or that you can vote 
but those votes won't be considered to have come from em, or that the 
votes, while being considered to have been cast by em, weren't actually 
cast by em, so it's legal...
