I understand and I guess it would depend on if you were given any forum powers. If you are in any way able to create havoc, I think it would be fair to have you submit a formal application like guides do so you can be monitored if you decide to go rogue at any point.

I honestly think the best way to do the rules here isn't in multiple different versions spread out across a bunch of forum threads. I think the best way is to have one place, in the wiki (which can format/display them better), on a page that's locked so only wiki admins can edit it (or maybe even only staff members; that's possible too).
As a wiki admin myself I already have the "power" to make that happen, so I wouldn't need any new privileges to work on such a project. But the "power" isn't really the issue. The issue is the staff has done things a certain way for ten years, and things have gone great (with some hiccups) for ten years here.
They're not going to want to even just move the rules into a single wiki page without thinking over all the possible repercussions, and they certainly aren't going to add rules that they've never even made explicit before today into the official rules without some thought as well. Like I said, I just hope they can find a win-win that lets them continue operating as successfully as they always have, while at the same time making more of the "secret" rules less secret ... and Menden's posting of those rules here gives me immense hope that that's possible.
