Server policing expectations

This is not the first post like this here, and it certainly won't be the last. Personally I think posts like these are a side effect of two problems:

1. some of the actual P99 rules are never published
2. the rules which are published exist in several different places

Even leaving out the raid rules, P99 currently has five published rules pages:

That can't be helping people learn the rules here ... but even if they did read all of those posts they still wouldn't know some important server rules.

Now I understand why the staff doesn't want to publish "the real rules": they want (and, I'd argue, need) the freedom to make rulings on the fly ... but I still feel like there's a potential happy medium possible where they publish the real rules but still leave some details (eg. specific camps) unspecified so that they aren't constrained in their rulings.

Camps are a perfect example: there are the rules as published (in however many different places), and there are the actual rules. The actual rules are:



P99 could still make the rules so much clearer by:

1. having a single rules page
2. including all of the "real" server rules (but not a specific camp list) in that document

I would be more than happy to do the work of trying to create that document IF it was desired, but unfrotunately for now the status quo of five documents with parts of the rules left out seems to be what the staff wants.

Thanks for all of the links and constructive post! I think it'd be great to consolidate down to a single page with as clear rules as possible.
