I would like to discuss this with everyone, since I think the rules are a bit outdated and messed up. I'll divide this into a few sections.

Punishments
I believe that certain rules should be more harshly punished if broken. Plagiarization should be more strictly punished than a bit of swearing, since the former is illegal in most countries.

Specifications
Some of the rules have odd specifications. For instance, it says that "damn" and "hell" are barely acceptable swears. That's all fine and good, but what are above and below them? My school has a no swearing policy, yet we can say "c**p" there and not get in any trouble. "Damn" is punished, however. The opposite is true here.

And I believe that to "annoy" people is breaking the rules is plain stupid. If you annoy someone once, it shouldn't matter. Most likely it was either an accident (trying to be funny but being annoying), or the person is just annoyed by the subject more so than most people. If you annoy the same person multiple times with the intent of annoying them, then THAT should be punished. That is harassment.

Possible Formatting Requirements
This one is more just an idea I thought of than something I'd argue for/against, but since this is a story wiki, there could be some level of formatting that a user should follow. After all, it's hard to read a story without some breaks somewhere. I'm sure no one would be able to read this thread if it was one giant paragraph.

If an admin would like to highlight this, I would appreciate it. If all of these have already been discussed by some chance, then I'd like to be linked these threads just so I can see the results.
