Where's the "intent" bit in Rule 2617/0 I'm completely missing it:
Rule 2617/0 (Power=1.0)
Defense Against the Dark Arts
A proposal is forbidden if it would, upon successfully taking
effect, cause Agora to be ossified or to cease to exist. An
action is forbidden if it would, upon its successful occurrence,
cause Agora to be ossified or to cease to exist.
Attempting a forbidden action is PROHIBITED, and is the Class-4
Crime of Engaging in Forbidden Arts.
Submitting a forbidden proposal is PROHIBITED, and is the Class-1
Crime of Contemplating Forbidden Arts.
Being the author of an adopted forbidden proposal is PROHIBITED,
and is the Class-2 Crime of Suborning Forbidden Arts.
Having a final ballot that evaluates to FOR in the Agoran decision
on whether to adopt a forbidden proposal is PROHIBITED, and is the
Class-1 Crime of Abetting Forbidden Arts.
