 imposed exile on emself was eir own choice, not the court's, and 
 shouldn't be a mitigating factor (see: the meaningfulness of deciding

E would have had 2.

 This meets
 deregistration timeout, but I'm not certain offhand whether or not it

Rule 2229 blocks you from re-registering at = 6 rests, so e's okay on

Probably.  Is failure to publish something instantaneous upon the time limit
expiring or continuous?  I'll let you call that CFJ. 

This is why I meant to vote against this one, I blame myself.  EVERYONE:  
any crimes you committed prior to 21 Feb 2009 are un-NOV-able in a way that
spawns CFJs  (I meant to commit a rather vile crime myself just to prove the 
complete and utter idiocy of R2239).  The worst part is that it invalidates 
NoVs instead of just making DISCHARGE the default sentence for grandfathered 
crimes - therefore we now have to deal with the messiness of a separate CFJ 
process on invalidity rather than just proceeding to NOT GUILTY or DISCHARGE.  
Well, at least Murphy who proposed this is the one stuck with the work.  -G.

Actually, this whole thing is pretty interesting, worthy of some Inquiry,
even getting down to the whole ceasing to play issue:

a.  You were sentenced to apology.
b.  You published an apology.  Let's assume for the sake of argument
that it wasn't an apology (either because it didn't show remorse,
or because the text itself said it wasn't an apology).
c.  Before the ASAP time limit expired, you deregistered.
d.  Arguably, once you quit, you (arguably) weren't subject to the ASAP 
requirement, or you'd still be playing (or whatever we're considering
for R101 -- while contracts may or may not be playing, being
required to publish an apology is certainly playing).
e.  You re-joined.  When you re-joined, were you instantly subject to
the ASAP requirement, so you committed the crime when you registered,
which is not grandfathered?  Or was the time instant for that seven days 
after sentencing, while you were deregistered (which is now grandfathered)? 
 
But how could that work when you weren't subject to the law at that time?

Any thoughts on inquiry CFJs to sort this out?  Or am I being dumb and missing 
something obvious?  (If this can somehow be construed into Guilty, I think 
Discharge works fine btw, I'm more interested in the whole process and timing
of culpability versus deregistration and re-registration here).

We've had at least one continued-failure equity case (ironically 2239,
following 2038) but criminal standards may differ.  I admit to not
foreseeing this issue.

That was precisely the point of R2239; I was tired of having to do
*more* processing wrt all the old violations being dredged up.  Now
the work for old violations will be performed by the would-be accuser,
who in at least some cases will remember R2239 and not bother accusing.

Crimes committed during the voting period could also have been NoVed
and crim-cased during the voting period, though this would be more
difficult toward the end; I should have made the cutoff no later than
the start of the voting period.  Of course, if you really want to ding
something that happened earlier, you can amend R2239 to move the
cutoff back a week or two.

I interpret this as being a Notice of Violation, and a valid (albeit

No, wait, it's not a valid NoV because you specified neither a named and

I didn't say that.  We're talking about cases where (a) we actually
