What is creepy?

[popecrunch]

I am somewhat reluctant to discuss such a topic because I feel like this is the exact reason why not everyone can and will be an admin : they are by nature chosen so that they are able to decide whether or not things break the rules, and by extension, if things are too creepy.

Yeah that's why I said in the OP that I wasn't promising that anything would necessarily change as a result of the discussion, this is not a democracy. The entire admin staff, however, is definitely interested in input on the subject, as we're not really into the whole megalomaniacal BIG DEAL DECISION PERSON ON THE INTERNET sort of thing. There's a general consensus among the vast majority of the admins I've talked to on the topic that it would be better if we had a short list of important rules that tried to avoid lists of specifics - this is easier for the playerbase to read and understand, and easier for the admins to work with. The prerequisite for this is making very sure that the short-list rules are written well enough so that they are clear, without getting bogged down. It shouldn't really take more than half a minute or so to read and understand the rules - if we really truly NEED a lengthy tome telling the players what they can or can not do, something's broken somewhere.
