R2125 applies to the rules as a whole. So it's not incompatible with R2125
for one rule to allow it to happen and another rule to provide the
mechanism.

Perhaps R2141 is enough of a method?

Unfortunately R2125 has a lower ID number, so it would take precedence
over R2141. Perhaps we should raise R2141's power...

I have the same question here as in another thread [0]: since awarding
a ribbon is a regulated action, does this rule need to explicitly
specify a mechanism that it's using to award the ribbon (or explicitly
override R2125)?

I'm not sure that would be sufficient to actually unsecure them? The
text is written as though the instrument in question does the awarding
of the ribbon, after all.

Perhaps you need black ribbons to be earned as a consequence of some
particular event that's otherwise undefined (and that is not secured).
