Laughable or not, I feel the request should still be tabled by the GM
if it's plausible and palpable within the letter of the rules.

Some allow less than a DIAS to be voted for, and thats fine as long 
as 
it's within HRs and the person being voted out doesn't vote against 
it.

But even if someone were to suggest a vote for solo to the one center 
wonder,
laughable yes...but what does it hurt to table the proposal?
Someones bound to vote it down even if the board leader does not.
It won't slow the game down any, and even if it does...anything worth 
a laugh
is worth its time, isn't it?

I don't know...I can't think of any examples so outlandish and yet 
within the parameters of
standard rules that a GM should feel compelled to 'reject'.

PS: My HRs state that any game proposals submitted are required to be 
voted YES to by the submitTER(if its a secret proposal through the 
GM). This seems to cut down a heckuva lot of the 'insincere' 
proposals.:)
