To be honest, I find it appalling that a rule that was voted NO on just last season was up for a vote again. How is that allowed? Can I just bring the same shitty rule every season and hope that one of these days someone votes yes on? Like this is a terrible precedent to set.
Rule V.D.6 already states that "Players that are determined to be inactive by the end of the regular season cannot be nominated for awards, regardless of stats, unless there are not enough active players at a position to fill nominations."
When people propose rules that modify existing rules, they type them up as such for clarity, hence last season's proposal taking the existing rule and adding "or Pro Bowl" and this year's adding "unless their GMs notify the committee of extenuating circumstances resulting in said player being IA." The votes on those rules don't have any bearing on if the existing rule stays or goes, just if the new modification is made or not.
