I remember something more. There were various attempts to scam the
office in question. IIRC, some of these scam attempts tried to repeal
the office in an attempt to close the loophole behind them. So it'd
depend on whether or not the scams were judged successful, something
that I can't remember the resolution of.

If we had a working criminal justice system, I'd consider crimming you
for excessive vagueness here. (I'd identify the violated rule as 2143,
and conveniently neglect to identify which paragraph.)


For the record, this dates back to the IADoP report of 2014-10-15, and
was equally vague back then. A quick scan of a-b around that same time
turns up an attempted scam involving the office, but nothing obviously
suggesting that Rule 2437 wasn't created or that it fails to effectively
define the office into existence. omd, do you remember anything more?

Part of the problem with our current intentionally biased criminal
justice system is that there's no room for arguing back and forth in
email threads that span multiple weeks, so it's unintentionally
contributing to a decrease in activity. Dictatorial systems have the
advantage/disadvantage of low bureaucracy levels.

I think I'll try to work out a new draft of the proposal on Organizations
then.
That is, unless someone thinks I better can spend time on an older draft?
