By the way, these are pretty much the original rules, condensed, and with specific tags for what is more likely to get you banned than other things. None of these rules are new, this is just a new outlining of our existing rules (and a few of our heretofore unspoken rules). I also wanted to cut out a lot of the text that seemed to actually goad people into being a nuisance ("There's nothing wrong with being a newbie, but there's plenty wrong with being a newbie that doesn't read the rules. We generally roast them over an open flame. Very slowly.")

Sadie, I realize that this won't make any more people actually read the rules; The main point of doing this was to make it easy for me and others to explain to people why they've been banned. Before you'd have to dig and say something like 'the second part of rule 6 clearly states...' This way it's all out in the open.

Esuohlim, I'll add something to that effect to the guidelines in the near future.
