I'd like to echo this sentiment, as well.
The drive behind this effort turned out to be less "revamp the rules" and more "codify the rules so that we can be a little more standard across the board". The varying degrees of moderator action were in large part a consequence of not having said standards in place for what sort of violation required what type, degree, and/or severity of response. That resulted in surprises for users when moderaction action was taken against their posts, in some folks feeling unfairly treated relative to others, in individual reluctance on the part of staff to moderate the heavier issues without vetting it with their peers, and so on and so forth.
The new outline at least lets everyone, users and moderators both, know that "Behavior A is not acceptable and will result in Action X taken by staff".
That we're getting all this feedback from you (interspersed with concerns, but that was expected) is a good thing. It means we can revisit the outline as written if need be. It means that we have a better grasp on RPC community expectations for what is and isn't fair play on both the user's end and the staff's. It means we can better manage these forums in such ways as to foster informative discussions, constructive workshops, question-and-answer roundtables, and the like while curbing disruptions and aggressive behaviors that aren't conducive to such talks.
In short: love the feedback, it helps to hear from you all!
