Proposer's summary and declarations

This rule creates the position of Supreme Grammarian (the grammar and spelling cop of Nomicapolis), along with provisions for nominating the SG, and his/her powers in-game. The purpose is to give a quick, non-intrusive way to resolve annoying grammar and spelling errors in the rules without having to go through the process of proposal/vote/change the rule number for each little typo.

Okay. I changed the proposal so that the SG would have the power to fix spelling/grammar errors summarily; such "fixes" can then be disputed and voted on later. I will bring this to a vote around 6 p.m. Central Time this evening, barring major new debate. Applejuicefool 10:53, 24 November 2006 (EST)

Debate

Add comments There should also be a list of rules that have already been checked. That way the new grammarian wont have to look though all of them.--Shivan 14:39, 22 November 2006 (EST)

If the grammarium finds that a proposed rule has a grammarmistake, and correcting that mistake will not have any significant effect of the interpretation of the rule, then the grammarian may change it right away. He shall leave a notice that he edited the "minor mistake", if the proposer does not object the change is final. This will allow quick correction of minor mistakes.--Shivan 14:39, 22 November 2006 (EST)

This is a good idea. I will probably tweak the proposal Friday. I request that debate stay open until that time (I'll probably come on and post a debate comment tomorrow just to keep it going until I have time to work on this). Applejuicefool 16:43, 22 November 2006 (EST)

Still planning on editing this rule tomorrow once I get some time on my hands. Happy Turkey Day! Applejuicefool 08:48, 23 November 2006 (EST)

I like this idea but am going to vote no against it because i would like to have a stipulation added that the SG cannot also simultaneously hold the position of Judge. I see no way that power could be abused currently, but it seems like a healthy safegaurd. Also, just to clarify, my vote will not affect WHEN (because i was not a member at the proposals inception) the quorum ends, but it will count in the final tally? --tucana25 21:54, 25 November 2006 (EST)

I must agree with tuscana25, edit the rule so that no player can be judge and grammarian at the same time. Then you have my vote, otherwise I will vote against it.--Shivan 06:38, 27 November 2006 (EST)
