Can we talk about just this part? Would it maybe, just maybe, make sense to publish those rules
outside of the in-game petition system (which then gets parroted and turned into pseudo rules passed around the forum)?
I know you GMs like your rules ambiguity so that you have full discretion to make rulings, and you
should have that discretion: but can't we get a win win here? Can't you define explicit, public rules that the whole server can be clear on ... while at the same time asserting "but we can do whatever the crap we want in game, we're GMs bitches!!!"

And FWIW I'd freely volunteer my time, in any capacity that I could be useful, to help make that happen. My time's not worth a lot since I'm not staff, but I'm a former Lit major (good at English editing) and wiki addict (good at wiki editing, if we wanted to put the rules in an admin-locked wiki page so we don't have a bunch of different copies floating around the forums ... which would be awesome).
