Something that has been bothering me and many other users for years is the lack of a complete and organized rules page for the forums/oekaki. The ones that currently exist are very scattered and are also incomplete in most cases. These 'hidden rules' are something easily fixable and would make life easier for both the mods and players, so i'm honestly perplexed as to why a rule overhaul hasn't happened yet.
A second issue i've seen is a lack of unity in how mods handle these situations. It seems as if theres no set guidelines for how to amend these situations, each mod seems to hand out punishments differently. It's not just different punishments either, but even what is and isn't allowed. I think a lack of clear rules contributes to this, and it makes going to a mod for clarification not very helpful in some situations.
Overall I just think that the forum and oekaki rules really need to just be over hauled and actually made complete. The site definitely suffers because of this and it's a crucial part of any kind of social platform. People need to know what the rules are so they can follow them.
