Ok, so, I'll have to revert this, it seems the developers really want you to shake that Stunned status card as you can see in the last bullet point here:
Viewing post in Stunned and Into The Fray
Yes, exactly. This is the section from the Rules (version 1.6) that I quoted in the OP. So the intention of the designers is to make this kind of thing work.
Anyway, I can see that it might be difficult to redesign the whole app to accommodate this, so I completely understand it you give this a low priority.
Thanks!
