The power to adopt proposals to enforce game mechanics means that the opposite is also true -- that there is a power to adopt proposals to not enforce game mechanics.[/quote]
It doesn't enforce game mechanics; it enforces moderator rules. The rules will remain, no matter how many hamhanded legislative attempts pop up to change them, and they include: "You cannot change game mechanics." But if the concern is that proposals that enforce game mechanics set a bad precedent, Rights and Duties of UN States (which actually did touch on some GM) did no such thing.
