Numbering rules

[Dombo]

Have searched and found nothing similar to this thread.

So I was thinking it would be better to number the rules, so wa can simply say "you broke rule x" or "rule y applies here", instead of copy pasting the entire rule.

Just a minor modification but would vastly improve the rulebook's effectiveness.

My 2 cents

Bad idea. Try better.

# DO agree with dombo, though.

You're the one that broke it.


Good idea IMO.

It would be easy reference. But who in there right mind would remember the rule number. For example

Shoutbox:
Dragonshadow: rule breaker you broke rule 47 sub-section a.
Rule Breaker: ????????

Dragonshadow: You were begging. /ban
Rule Breaker: Ahh ok. I'll see you all tomorrow when I'm unbanned.

See my point :P?

Yeah i see your point hunter.
I think instead rules should be given a more general specification ie.

1
Swearing
racism
flaming
trolling
2
sex
drugs
ETC.

So a mod could point and say you broke a rule in section 1
making it easier for people to understand.

This behaviour is not what we want to have around.. also you don't have to be mad because I pointed out a rule for you -which you broke-

Ignorance is not an excuse to break the rules. Why should we quote them to you, when you should already know them? You get a nice little PM when SB banned, or infractions are given. Telling you; GO READ THE RULES. It's not our problem if you're too lazy to follow a few pretty simple (and very laid back IMO) rules.

uhm they are numbered? shoutbawx rules... so we could go you broke rule II-2 ... but its not really our problem, you break the rules u are punished.

II - Spamming

1. DO NOT shout more than 4 times in a row.
2. DO NOT spam to increase your shout bawx poster rank. If you have something to say, do not split it into multiple messages, put it into a single well-thought out sentence.
3. DO NOT use NOU/NO U/no u/nou or any of the variants!
4. DO NOT spam /me.
