Thank you Shining-Armor, I appreciate reading your simplified chat policy proposal.

I am in support the idea because I think that simpler rules will provide a more enjoyable chat time because users will not be worried about what they are saying, and mods will not be worried about enforcing obscure rules. The more convoluted the policies are becoming, the less likely it is that a new person will read them carefully. These guidelines would provide a mutual respectful time together if followed.

I also like how it has distinct "guidelines" for users and moderators, but empasizes that moderators are also users! I think this duality extends at least partially the other direction also and that users should also want a calm and enjoyable chat and hopefully can help to police themselves and their peers to a certain extent.

I look forward to reading the opinions of others in the community.
