Hello all.
I'm going to cut straight to the meat with this one. We have a slight redundancy in our site rules, which goes as so:
Refrain from spamming, trolling, threatening, using derogatory comments of any form (ethnic, homophobic, belittling the disabled or mentally ill, etcetera), and rude, vulgar, sexist, etcetera offensive language.
Do not instigate drama or systematically spread toxicity, and follow the instructions in official staff warnings.
You can leave comments in the forums if you want to argue about a character's power or point out things that seem wrong, but don't be rude, obnoxious, unreasonable, or overly argumentative.
These are all separate rules listed in the wiki's main page. However as you can clearly see, they more-or-less can be summed up and compressed into a general idea of "don't be a dick". Now, my idea isn't to simplify these rules, they are quite alright in that department. What I'm proposing is the combination of all three of them into one single, exhaustive rule that will keep things concise and also cut down on the space the rules actually take up (as I feel three separate entries saying basically the same thing is not all that optimal).
This is my proposal, and I would be willing to write up a draft provided it gets accepted. What are your thoughts?
Note: STAFF ONLY. You know the drill people. If you're a regular user (who wasn't in the OG thread), get permission from someone with a colored name. I will delete posts if not.
