It doesn't really. People will still complain regardless, but one thing I've learned is that whatever we do - even when it is the best interests of the forum - someone will always complain when they don't like the outcome and there's always going to be at least one party that doesn't, so we can't win whatever happens. I don't believe we are selectively enforcing the rules or are any of the staff abusing their power to my knowledge and what was done was the right thing, but of course you will always disagree with that.
So wait, this isn't about the rules being written down now for everyone to see, this is about me and my incident now? Must be convenient to take action against someone like me, then you can write off everything I say as just a reaction to some passed event and ignore what was actually said. After all, if it is in reaction to something obviously it is incoherent and not worth addressing unless to make a personal attack right?
I wonder what kind of governments have laws which are unwritten and must be constantly guessed about by the population.... doesn't sound like a very reliable place. Making the rules unwritten may make things A LOT easier for you, but if it makes no difference and some one will complain anyway, why is it you insist on subjecting everyone to unwritten, non uniform, unpredictable enforcement for rules they don't even know exist?
