Editing Round 6/Initial Ruleset (section)

== 2. On Proposals and Turn Order ==
A proposal is a document designated as such by the rules. Each proposal has an ID number, a title, and a body (a string of text). If a rule ever lacks a title or has an empty title, a may give it a title at any time.

When a proposal is adopted, it takes effect and any actions described in its text are carried out, except as explicitly prohibited by a rule. A proposal cannot take effect if it has not been adopted in accordance with the rules. Proposals can have neither retroactive nor future effect, even if their text explicitly states otherwise.

A player submits a proposal by posting a document labeled as such in #proposals. When submitting a proposal, a player shall label it with its ID number. Each proposal's ID number is determined at the time it is submitted, and is the number after the previously submitted proposal's ID number (or else 1, if there was no previous proposal).
