I know we all get tired of meta posts, but this has been a complaint for ages.
Can we please simplify the rules and then enforce them equally and consistently? As is, we've had pretty sporadic enforcement, where bad stuff - porn, clearly bad faith trolling, and pedophilia advocation, to name a few recent standouts - have stayed up for around a week. Meanwhile, some much less offensive stuff, from established and active members, sometimes gets taken down immediately, which just stifles discussion. (And, no, I was not moderated, this isn't me bitching about something done to me.)
This isn't Reddit; we don't need these rules. We can simplify this all down to 'no porn, no advocating illegal activity, and if you're a handshake you don't have human rights.'
Reddit went to shit because the admins were ideologically toxic. Here if you don't like the moderation you can make your own sub without admins closing it for bullshit reasons.
It's been done already a few times, those complaining just seem to want to be the ones in charge next time, like all revolutionaries want to be.

Edit:
For those wondering where 3 and 4 are, Jester is squatting them.
yup, i rember that, thats why theres a kia 5 thats NOT squated by jester. admins might wanna ban domain squating as it could open up an attack vector in the likes of step 1 aquire bots. step 2 program bots to spam create subs with a bruteforce style methiod (ex aaz inc by one equal aba) step3 enjoy the lockdown ban as needed. might be oversimplfying this a tad but this is long enough as is.
