First of all: The signature size limit is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too big. It can make threads a pain to scroll through and a 500px tall signature can take up a large space in quite a lot of monitors. Think about it this way: In a thread full  of people with max size signatures, they will take up a majority of the screen (height wise, and possibly width wise) in most places. I'd say that miku's signature height is about what I'd say should be the absolute max.
Second of all: The rules are unnecessarily... filled. Stating what is allowed isn't necessary unless it's an exclusion from some other rule. Most of flame wars is unnecessary and could easily be condensed into a single rule. Mini modding is similar. Same with Accounts. In images, B and C should be removed, and the no sexual/violent/offensive part of A should be removed... and a rule stating that those types of things for ANY image isn't allowed. ROMs can be condensed. Most rules, even those not mentioned, could easily be condensed.
THIRD:  The blanket ban on AR/GS codes in unnecessarily large. There ARE, believe it or not, legitimate uses for these sorts of things. Yes, a ban on some pokemon related codes is understandable. A blanket ban like is apparently in place? No.


TBH You could probably make the rules look much better (and possibly even BE better) if you rewrote them from scratch.

They were. We actually have started creating a new version of the rules, but it's slow going since we were working on other stuff too (and most of you guys seem to behave pretty well anyways, so it isn't a huge priority).

However, I do appreciate the input, and we will incorporate your suggestions into our drafting of the rules. Smiley If anyone else has any concerns or suggestions related to the rules, please let me or JCB know so that your thoughts can be heard as well.

Steel, I'm normally a very passive person, but I do have my limits. So either fix the forum, or I'll track your ass down, strap an explosive to you and throw you in a river, and when the explosive goes off, people will think it was just a failed terrorist act. Seriously, you better have saved everything you took off the forum.
