Why rules matter
Rules are a contract wantaim bilong yu members. They set expectations, give moderators grounds to act na 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".
- With consequences — warning, mute, ban: a clear ladder of sanctions.
Where to put them
Pin the rules in the chat na repeat them in the welcome mesej. Newcomers should see them immediately, not hunt for them. Requiring members to confirm agreement on entry works well.
How to enforce
Rules without enforcement are useless. Set up automatic reminders na sanctions: Mod Assistant Bot inap show rules to newcomers na issue warnings na mutes by triggers, taking load off moderators. Apply rules equally to everyone — otherwise trust in the community erodes.
