The details about fora are in Rule 478, and you can find a list of fora in the Registrar's weekly report, which is published online here: https://agoranomic.org/Registrar/ -twg You're right. Upon investigation, it seems that the headers got messed up in the message I was replying to (or before that message),populating the "reply-to" header with the discussion list and your e-mail address. Thanks very much on the pointer about the register!
Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Registration and Birthday
In terms of the common definition for "declare", it makes perfect sense. In fact I called a CFJ on a similar issue (substituting "state" for "declare") a couple weeks back, but I'm realizing it's not in the Gazette. D. Margaux, did the following CFJ get missed or am I just not finding the assignment? https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2019-January/039834.html On 2/13/2019 6:05 PM, James Cook wrote: Thanks, G.

Welcome, Falsifian! Good test of new rule - nice beginning! In general, when a rule says "a Player CAN [verb] with Agoran Consent", it means that e does whatever [verb] is using the Agoran Consent method; that is, the "actual" actions the player takes are following the R1728 procedure. Similarly, if it was "can declare by announcement" then e would do it by announcement. This is what is meant by "only using the methods explicitly specified in the Rules" in Rule 2125.
