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 assume that's also the reason for "THREE: Do not threaten, harass, defame, or bully users." To avoid driving away casuals.
Probably. KIA2 has had a long history of people who fucking hate each other just getting into infinite slapfights across months.
Its also the only rule I've consistently been hit by, as further proof that ones like 16 only apply if you are being a retard screaming about it, as I am of the firm belief that telling someone to kill themselves is my right on the Internet.
