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.'
Who gives a shit?
Yes, you can replace most of the rules with "Don't be a retarded sperg". The only other rules besides that one are: 5, 7, 12, 14.
But if you had that rule would be in place people, who would act like retarded spergs would cry "I cannot act retarded and it's not explicitly against the rules. This is eviiiil!!!!!".
