Just some thoughts I had... What differentiates proposals? Is it by idea? If I hate an idea could I start a vote on it with some outlandish conclusion people would be forced to vote “no” on, and now nobody can propose anything like it for a year? For example, I could start a vote saying that if a proposal fails, nobody can start another one for 1000 years. Once everybody says no, is a “1 year wait before re-voting” proposal disallowed because it’s a different take on the same idea? Is it by actor? What’s stopping me from giving my failed proposal plus a few modifications to a buddy of mine to propose? Is it some combination of the two that determines uniqueness? If so, who’s the judge of that? This could be used as a heavy handed tool to prevent proposals by a single person or across a very wide scope of ideas, because they’re “too similar.” When we make proposals it’s important to codify things exactly, in my opinion. Sure, maybe a “reasonable judgement”-based idea like this might work within our current community, but we should consider new users or a potential rapid growth of our community that could destabilize an organization like ours with “policies” like this.
