I get your point. The question is how long should the rules be and should every single incident that could happen be codified?
Could argue that posting rules in any thread, not about rules, being spam? But should I?
The rules are too long now and few people even bother reading them until they run afoul of them. For me the rules should be that everyone must be courteous, kind and civil in discussion. But then it will be, well, how do you define that? Making rules is a no win situation really. Someone will always want more definition. Others will complain that they are too oppressive. In more than 10-years of moderating on CFC, not sure I could find that place we could all meet and be happy with a rule set.
The spirit of the PDMA rules is to keep threads on topic. So let's do that and report what isn't on topic.
