"Also I suggested in the past that admins started keeping logs on people in IRC just to help with judgement calls"
EdVenture is right about this. Nothing insane, like don't log every last kick with a paragraph explanation, but if there's something that happened that might happen again in the future, etc, take note. For example, I was banned for 5 mins because I made a poorly worded joke, so a note on my file might read
"Kicked and banned for 5 minutes to get his attention, took a but joke too far, asked to not do it again; agreed" so that if I'm ever caught taking jokes too far again, people can say "we've already talked to you about this" and so on.
That being said; let me actually read the proposal for the rules now.
EDITED TO ADD:
1 - fine (this rule seems fine, not bad, or offensive, or troublesome, or even good, or great. it's satisfactory)
2 - fine, though my grammar would have been different (that does not matter though)
3 - bold "be respectful of others" IMO
4 - fine (I'm being thorough to let you know I'm sharing ALL my thoughts, holding nothing back)
5 - fine. maybe move this to the final slot?
6 - maybe add "but I don't even believe that point of view" is not a valid defence
7 - I don't like the term NWS. NSFW is far more common and should be used.
8 - good. (as in I like this one, and the way it's worded; it's better than fine)
overall - Great. I like it.
EDITED TO FURTHER ADD
I also think that, even more important than the rules, is the creation of this IRC Ban subforum. People have been told in previous IRC bans that the forum is not the place to appeal them. Making it clear that it, in fact, is, means that bans need to be handled responsibly, which is something I was concerned was not happening in recent days.
