The updated tips page didn't exist when I started writing my post, so I was exclusively referring to the kuz versions

Whether I agree with the things written on the tips page or not (and it's certainly more agreeable now than before), I don't agree that it's a good idea to host a completely serious, not-even-funny, and totally out of character list of 9001 different rules and guidelines for every little minor annoyance and pet peeve that the staff or the users have ever had, even if it includes things I myself have brought up in the past - this is why I had a problem with such a page in the first place!

I think it's far better to keep the rules as minimal and non-specific as possible, and for everyone (including staff) to just lurk appropriately and play it by ear using common sense and intuition

For such minor things, rather than contribute to an official ever-growing list of THOU SHALT NOTs, I believe that we as a collective can decide for ourselves what we think is OK or not, and that everyone should have the option to lurk and decide for themselves how exactly they want to post (as long as they keep within the global rules of course)

Consider that digit checking, quote function abuse, quotelinking the OP in a reply, and not using line breaks appropriately on Strange World were all initially commonplace on Heyuri - and in all of these instances, all it took was a lone individual to inform and influence others with persuasive arguments, and then those things suddenly stopped for the most part - no rules or staff action required!
