I think I'm going to start employing policy debate's stock issues paradigm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_issues http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_issues) to all proposals I see on HN. So, with that:
Solvency: Flow that through for the aff, no argument.
Harms: Affirmative fails to illustrate any harms inherent in the status quo. The plan should be thrown out on these grounds alone.
Inherency: Affirmative only proposes a semantic clarification to a sub genre of internet message boards; no actual policy change is necessary to implement this. Affirmative plan does not demonstrate that status quo cannot solve the unspecified harms on its own. Flow this negative.
Topicality: No argument, flow aff.
Significance: Without any harms, the aff cannot claim any significance to their plan. Flow this negative.
