My only problem is this.
Enforce the rules and ONLY the rules as they are written.
Don't make up rules as you go along. If it isnt written, it isnt a fucking rule.
That wasn't hard was it?

I would agree in principle except that SOME rules must be vague and open for interpretation for the site to work at all Hill.
Sorry Butch but look where people making calls who didnt know the rules got the NFL.
Rules are RULES. They are not to be 'interpreted', changed at whim or otherwise folded, spindled or mutilated.
We literally have people who write gold letters who dont know the rules so they make them up.
I agree entirely with Hillwilliam...well...except for the NFL comment...'cause I know squat about the NFL...or next to squat. :P
The point is, if it's going to be a rule outside of the TOS, it should be placed in the Administrative Announcements forum where all of the posters can see it and not made up on the fly. Plus, the whole "SOME rules must be vague and open for interpretation for the site to work" that butch opined is one I'm in disagreement with too. This is a chat board. It isn't a country or a municipality that requires laws to be more flexible to encompass a wide variety of circumstances.
I was given a "rule" of sorts by a moderator telling me that another moderator had already made a post asking users to refrain from said activity. That moderator included a link to the post. The post wasn't a sticky, but was in a thread that I hadn't read. So how can a user be held accountable to a "rule" placed as a post in a thread that most haven't even read? That is ludicrous. Another more recently established rule is in a sticky, but only in the P&R forum. How many posters are going to see that one? Hence my suggestion of putting it in the Administrative Announcements where it doesn't take a significant intellect to surmise that forum might, just might contain forum guidelines.
