2 diamonds is negative.
RHO takes away your standard 2NT rebid.
1) Is double for penalties, optional or for takeout?
2) Is pass absolutely forcing?
This was the whole hand:

I play double is penalty, pass is absolutely forcing.
After I pass, I suppose responder can bid 5D and I can bid 6D.

I double (though I see I'm alone at the moment) showing the big balanced hand. Pass is forcing, but could be based on a lot more different hands (various 2 suiters, 1-suiters with 11 tricks in hand etc), not about to torture partner.
The advancements will be the same as y66.

First off, how is that hand negative? 6 points and a void opposite 22+ is not negative in any stretch of the imagination, it's actually nearly slammish... I hope you meant 2D was waiting.
As north I'd pass, south would offer 5D (or should, if he bids 4 he's way undervaluing his hand). I'll raise to 6.

I play double as showing a strong balanced hand, so I'd do that. With a penalty double I pass.
YES pass is absolutely forcing.
2C P 2D 4C
x P 4D P
5C P 6C P
6D all pass
edit: someone has suggested that 4D is an 'underbid'. How does that make sense? It's forcing, and South isn't certain what strain to play in.
