Based upon this small turnout, I will cast the region's vote FOR the proposal.

Personally, I think it sets a bad precedent because if this proposal is adopted, it could then be used to adopt proposals that seek to change game mechanics. 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.

not that it matters now, but i'll abstain.

im the against vote, picked the wrong one. but as said, doesnt really matter

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.
