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.'
I would amend Rule 1 to delete the ban on manifestos. They're rarely posted here but when one is newsworthy, like the Nashville tranny shooter, the rule is ignored anyway. And the Nashville shooter's discussion was civil. Keeping Rule 2 would mean that people won't be using manifestos to glorify violence or the shooters themselves.
