It's exactly the same logic as Disabled Voters Act: if you have elections, you have to allow disabled voters ballot access; if you don't, it doesn't apply. Not optional, not an ideological ban.
The misuse of capital letters is annoying.
If things that were annoying were banned from the WA...

Can you give an example? I can remember at least three passing, and the only one failing being about animal testing rather than animal rights in general.
Yes, it passed. So it didn't "get shot down at vote"; quite the reverse.

Get rid of very small regions
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.
Category: Political Stability
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Deon primetime
Description: I propose to get rid of VERY small regions. Why do we need smaller regions anyway? in my opinion those pesky little regions upset the balance of power (in the slightest miniscule way) in the world we live in today. so i say get rid of them.
Meta-gaming. Narcissistic opinion blog.
Not Just Metagaming

Even if the aforementioned resolution weren't metagaming, it is vague and uncomfortably ambiguous. What exactly constitutes "small"? Is it less than five nations or less than ten? Less than twenty? Anyway, furthermore, all regions start out small. An end to small regions would mean an end to UCRs. That's not good. Strongly AGAINST, let alone the metagaming and blogging violations.

No it's not and you fucking well know it. House of cards only applies IF the resolution it is citing provided the backbone to the resolution. As I said above, if Looting and Pillaging was repealed, it would not gut this resolution. Will it pass? Probably not, but it still isn't illegal.

It's one clause, and it isn't even mandatory. I suppose it is "possible" to interpret that way, but it seems like a stretch. Of course I have been wrong before, so take it as you will.

If we ignored that part, it stands on its own, so i dont think that if that resolution was to be repealed it would have any effect on this one.

Perhaps, but it is in there, and all parts of a resolution must be followed, so i believe HoC does come in to play there. You cannot selectively choose what to follow and what to ignore, particularly when a clause makes it mandatory.
