We have a rule that says that any text between a /* and a */ or a [[
and a ]] has no effect on the game.  We've recently realized that
given the most pedantic reading of the text of this rule, this means
that if any rule contains multiple comments, any text between those
comments also has no effect, either because the literal reading is
analogous to greedy regular expressions or because in "]] TEXT [[" the
text is 'between' a [[ and a ]].

The upshot of this is that the Clock has been off for over a year, and
during that time it's been impossible to submit proposals. Any fun
that anyone thought they were having playing under the old rules
therefore didn't exist, so we must adjust our mental states as
necessary.  Or, you know, not.
