Why rules matter
Rules are a contract witim blong iu members. They set expectations, give moderators grounds to act an reduce conflicts. Without them, any ban looks arbitrary.
What they should be
- Short — 5–10 points people will actually read.
- Specific — "no ads without approval", not "be nice".
- Witim consequences — warning, mute, ban: a clear ladder of sanctions.
Where to put them
Pin the rules in the chat an repeat them in the welcome message. Newcomers should see them immediately, not hunt fo them. Requiring members to confirm agreement on entry works well.
How to enforce
Rules without enforcement are useless. Set up automatic reminders an sanctions: Mod Assistant Bot save show rules to newcomers an issue warnings an mutes by triggers, taking load off moderators. Apply rules equally to everyone — otherwise trust in the community erodes.
