Editing Cycle 15/Ruleset (section)

== Proposals ==
Proposals are made by sending a message in the channel #proposals.

A 👍 or 👎 reaction from a player on a proposal message at the time when the voting period ends constitutes a vote in favor or against, respectively. A 🤔 reaction from a player at the time the voting period ends constitutes a vote for a rewrite. If a person's vote is unclear (excluding abstentions), it is considered to be against.

At the end of its voting period, a proposal takes effect if it is popular (as defined for its type) and the message in which it was submitted has been neither deleted nor edited. If more than one proposal would otherwise take effect simultaneously, they take effect in the order in which they were created.

The class of a proposal must be a class defined in the rules. When a proposal is submitted, the submitter may specify its class. if no class is specified, the proposal class defaults to Standard.

When a player becomes reputable, grant that player N-3 Time Bean Chilis, where N is the current phase.

=== Urgent Class Proposal ===
The voting period of an urgent proposal begins at the time it is submitted and ends two days (48 hours) after. An urgent proposal is popular if it has no more than two votes against it. Votes for a rewrite on urgent class proposals will be considered identical to a vote against.

Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, only a reputable player can submit an urgent proposal. Urgent proposals should only be used to correct the game to its intended state and to maintain playability.

=== Standard Class Proposal ===
A proposal with the same, or substantially similar effect to a Tune Up class proposal cannot be made as a Standard class proposal for at least 7 days after it is discarded or made into a Second Reading class Proposal.

The voting period for a Standard class proposal is the phase that started after the proposal was submitted. A standard proposal is popular if the combined total of votes for and rewrite votes is greater than the number of votes against, and fewer than 30% of the total votes are rewrites. If the combined total of votes for and rewrite votes is greater than the number of votes against, and the rewrite votes constitute equal to or greater than 30% of the total votes, the proposal does not take effect and instead becomes a “Tune Up” class proposal.

=== Tune Up Class Proposal ===
A proposal cannot be manually made as a Tune Up class Proposal. It is only possible to create a Tune Up class proposal through voting on another class of proposal. It is not possible to vote on a Tune Up class proposal.

Any proposal which is made to become a Tune Up class proposal is sent to the channel #workshop. Tune Up class proposals can be modified by the original proposer of the rule to mollify the concerns of players who voted for a rewrite. Before the end of the phase in which it was made into a Tune Up class proposal, the original proposer must either approve the rule for a second vote, in which case they will send it to the channel ⁠#proposals as a Second Reading class proposal, or they may hold the rule back to remain as a Tune Up class proposal for one more phase. If the original proposer does neither before the end of the phase, the proposal is automatically discarded. If a proposal has had the Tune Up class for greater than 3 phases consecutively it is automatically discarded.

=== Second Reading Class Proposal ===
A proposal cannot be manually made as a Second Reading class proposal. It is only possible to create a Second Reading class proposal through the methods described in the “Tune up Class Proposal” subrule. A Rewrite vote for a Second Reading class proposal will be considered identical to a vote against.

Besides the exceptions described above, Second Reading class proposals are exactly the same as Standard class proposals.
