RE: This seems like an actual bad idea.

These are fair calls and feel quite similar to the complaints/issues raised when we first made Hawkspace. I definitely agree that some of the earlier propositions that were quite sensible (e.g. Slorange's one to make it harder to single out people) should not have been shot down. Making a counter-proposal that does the opposite is the logical follow-through on that for "jokes" but when you think about it it's actually kinda shitty.
After the thrill wears off we can go about proposing rules that are goofy but still have a modicum of filtration so we can still make something entertainingly rubbish while still subconsciously-consciously trying to be decent to each other.
I want y'all to give this place a chance - I'm putting up propositions for methods to give rulemaking/breaking a little more structure, and encourage folks to do the same. Obviously we'll have legacy rules from the initial flurry that will make us wonder "why is this still a thing", but becoming progressively better people from cruder beginnings is basically the story of this goddamn forum.
