Yeah, okay I'll admit I skimmed your post becuase it was complicated!
I am with Dinah on this one. Too many rules, too much complication. To tell you the truth, I don't really read the rules I just try to use my common sense but if I found my common sense to allow me to break a rule I would be interested in the purpose of the rule.
When Kali was here a little while back didn't she have a suggestion or two about moderation WITHOUT so very many rules? Something to do with you just requesting for someone to do or not do something and then explaining why. That sounds reasonable (though time consuming) to me.
Too many rules start to make me want to flout them just because thats the way I react to what I consider 'arbitrary' rules. I think there are many others who are similar (though wouldn't dare speak for everyone).
The boards are hard enough to get ones head around to start with with getting subject headings correct, redirecting threads etc.
Please, don't let common sense fall by the way for the sake of rules.
