It does, nch currently is not a player. To get around this, Falsifian 
has submitted a proposal to re-register em.

Well, sub-games have to balance letting new players join (via welcome
packages etc.) with not letting everyone trivially re-set their position
via deregistration (which can spoil the subgame if it's too easy).  I think
anything much shorter makes it harder to do that.  We've been pretty-well
calibrated (in player rewards etc) to that 30 days for a long time, though
that assumes players are making a conscious choice of whether a reset is
worth the length of the timeout.

Maybe we should codify an override, e.g. "Exception to the 30-day limit
CAN happen via 3 Agoroan Consent, provided the to-be-registered person
announces support too; this SHOULD only be done if the 30-day limit is
manifestly unfair based on the circumstances of the deregistration".

The Registrar's report has a "deregistered emself by mistake" entry for
a reason :-D

This is a bit different, it's "deregistered emself intentionally
without realising the consequences". I'm not totally against giving
people a pass for that, even if it was part of a scam, but with a
caveat that they mustn't have gained any benefit from the scam attempt
(and only once per person, obviously).

If another person does it in the near future I won't feel so
forgiving; I don't want to make it a pattern, and anyway people who
didn't know that rule should know it now.

In this case, as Registrar, I encourage others to vote FOR bringing
nch back. I expect keeping active and creative players around to be
good for the health and vitality of Agora.

Just on a purely technical side - I assume nch will consent, but if e
doesn't not even AI-3.1 will work and might create a weird situation.
Here:
  A person, by registering, agrees to abide by the Rules. The Rules
  CANNOT otherwise bind a person to abide by any agreement without
  that person's willful consent.
If the person is registered "by force" without consent, e never agrees to
abide by the rules.  Being "bound to the rules" is a continuous state.  We
might get the odd situation that someone is registered (by force of
proposal) but not "bound to abide" because they didn't consent.

Easy fix:  wrap the whole thing in a conditional "if nch has publicly
consented to abide by the rules in clear reference to this proposal
(and not withdrawn consent) then..."

idk, as much as I don't want nch to sit out for 30 days, we've had people
deregister themselves to do a scam and in the past said "hey well that's the
price of scamming" (if it was accidental for non-scammy reasons we try to

I believe the "Register nch." provision is unaffected by R869's
"CANNOT be registered for 30 days" because of the third list item in
R2140 (Power Controls Mutability). Am I understanding that right?

Um, how are you getting around this CANNOT in R869:
   A player, acting as
  emself, CAN deregister (cease being a player) by announcement. If
  e does so, e CANNOT register or be registered for 30 days.
