Please name me one case, maybe apart from sophisticated technology, in that excessive sets of rules have successfully made things clearer or more transparent to everyone involved.
the law. lol

as long as those rules are to the point, i don't see the issue. as it currently stands, the rules are incredibly vague and subjective, hence why we have subjective moderation.

common sense isn't so common, evidently.

In reality this is only going to confuse a lot of people, leave moderators with less actual power to moderate and open up playground for the smart jerks that of course will expand any given rule to their own advantage, like they are already doing btw.
no.

except that is a subjective opinion, which is why we need proper rules.

nobody is here purely to cause havoc, because people who only have that goal get banned rather quickly.

we have different opinions on what the forum should be used for; it doesn't exist purely to be a part of development. hence why we have different sections on the forum in accordance to what needs to be discussed there.

Namely to talk about a video game and therefore of course it is to be expected that at least 95% of the ongoing discussion would revolve around exactly this and not that countless flamewars and nonsense at the off-topic section.
why do germans hate good banter? i don't get it.
