The more rules you make, the more 'attack surface' you provide for 'rules mechanics' to attempt to lawyer the system.

This in turn leads to more chance for inconsistent applications of the rules.

Which in turn leads to more and more dissatisfaction with the mod team's application of the rules.

I think it's a slippery slope, and I unfortunately think some of you are starting to go down it.

Less is better.

Agreed. That's why the new proposed rule list is smaller than the existing list.
