Editing Metaruleset (section)

== Section 2: Metaproposals ==

A metaproposal is a body of text specifying one or more changes to the Metaruleset. Any player can submit a metaproposal by submiting its full contents to the channel #metaproposals.

Whenever a metaproposal is submitted, players who have expressed interest in recieving notifications should be warned about it as soon as possible through Discord ping or a similar mechanism.

No metaproposal may refer to a player or group of players by any non-changing uniquely identifiable or real-life characteristic such as name or nickname, to give them exclusive advantages or disadvantages. If a metaproposal does this, it will have no effect even if passed and may be removed by a moderator as soon as possible.

Unless otherwise specified by a different part of the Metaruleset, the voting period lasts 72 hours after the metaproposal has been submitted. At the end of a metaproposal's voting period, each player who has a reaction of :+1: on the proposal message is considered to have voted for it, and each player who has a reaction of :-1: against. If a player's vote is unclear, their vote is considered to be against.

Once the voting term of a metaproposal had passed, if at least two thirds of votes on that metaproposal are for it and the message in which it was submitted has been neither edited nor deleted, it takes effect. Unless otherwise specified by the Metaruleset, the effects of metaproposals are limited to immediately modifying the Metaruleset.

Metaproposals are the only method by which the Metaruleset can be modified.
