This raises an interesting question: can you get around No Faking by doing something that appears to do something, but due to a technicality, turns out to be unregulated? Would No Faking even cover that in the first place? If not, should it? Gaelan > On Oct 23, 2018, at 10:41 AM, Kerim Aydin

Okay. Revised plan: The Adjudicator CAN assign any verdict, SHALL assign an appropriate verdict, and SHOULD assign the correct veridicr and list all other appropriate verdicts. If a verdict is believed to be incorrect, any player can change it to be what they think is correct after completing

Yes. But I think this should be enforced with at most a SHOULD. I think this is a reasonable place where the Adjudicator can determine eir preferred style, and I think they should have the flexibility to do so. The way it is written, I can literally reach back to any act for the past

We've had success historically with Urgent proposals A player CAN flip a proposal to Urgent by paying a fee that is split between the Promotor and Assessor. Promotor must distribute the proposal in 4 days. Assessor must assess within 4 days of end of voting period. If not done before

Right. That’s the point. Sorry for not making this clear earlier. Saying that it’s more than 14 days old doesn’t set any precedent, and in general I think the merits should be addressed if possible. That’s why I was talking about precedents earlier. For instance, I don’t want a case to be decided

As an example, one of the easiest things to determine is whether something happened 14+ days ago. However Justified, Inculpable, or Unaware have (historically) been more subject to CFJs. This would force someone to send a case to CFJ to determine if it fit one of those more complicated

I agree. However, distribution is _really_ hard to accelerate well. Other than the fact that ID numbers become a pain to deal with, there's also the fact that small distributions don't tend to meet quorum. I don't see any barrier to making it easier to assess proposals though. Does someone who's

Especially when pending is free, I think we have a lot of buggy proposals go into the pool, and the proofreading really doesn't happen until a quorum-enforced group put on their voting hats and look closely before voting. I think the formality of that process is useful. *However* I don't
