4.2 Proposal Rewards

Author Jef

Credit

Credit

Enact the following rule:

Proposal Rewards

Mutable Rule

Text Players shall receive 2 points for each rule change proposal they submit, and 6 additional points if that rule change passes. For sponsored proposals, only the Sponsor receives the 2 points for submitting it, but the Author and Sponsor split the point reward for its passage.

I like this. It is simple, rewards players for submitting proposals, and does not punish them for failed proposals. Elegant.

I've always wondered, what stops people from copying a rule that up for sponsorship and just claiming it as their own? Honor? The angry people that will follow? Copyright? Or will it just be ruled to be an implicit sponsorship?

...

Oh, yeah. The draft. I feel that this rule will benefit the more creative people, which means I'd have to step up on the rule proposals. This probably is a good way to start the round though, so there's at least incentive to contribute initially.

I recall having at some point in the past a rule that explicitly banned plagarism. The point of the proposal credit mechanism (which still appears on the draft screen, even though it doesn't exist in the current rules) was to provide a legitimate means of using someone else's ideas in a proposal. Perhaps we should bring those mechanics back into the ruleset. That would be a separate proposal, of course.

I agree with Looney. I think we can bring back the proposal credit mechanism.

Heh... yes it looks like I forgot to remove the Credit fields from drafts from round 9. I'll look at disabling it this weekend until/if that rule is resurrected.
