OpenNIC proposals should not be used to target specific members and give 
opinions about their character or actions. Jonah's upcoming proposal to 
invalidate the ongoing vote (which I have no control over, and would stop if 
I could) makes references to "Daniel Q." along with the phrase "sane recount" 
and accusations of myself engaging in "misleading" behavior.

These defamatory "troll votes" have no place in OpenNIC and if that first 
paragraph is included as is, the whole purpose of the vote becomes a personal 
attack on me and accusation of me engaging in fraudulent, potentially illegal 
activity.

This is my proposal, yea/nay, which will be put up to vote on 8/7/2018:

OpenNIC proposals shall not contain, in full or in part, language which:

* Praises an OpenNIC member on basis of their character or actions,
* Condemns an OpenNIC member on basis of their character or actions,
* Makes allegations of unethical or illegal activity by an OpenNIC member, 
unless confirmed by a court of law, and/or
* Criticizes or comments on a proposal or vote, past or present, valid or 
invalid, in which an OpenNIC member is criticized on basis of their character 
or actions.

The proposal shall take effect immediately after passing.
