this is terrible you are giving too much power to the admins and look at these rules:

1. Members will not show disrespect to staff at any time.

what is disrespect? what can be called disrespect? so if a mod start saying all kinds of bullshit and wrong information i am supposed to stay silent?

2. Members will not disrespect other members.

now you are officially giving mods the power to ban anyone if they think its fair, some peoples feel insulted when they are proven wrong so i realy think you shuld give us a definition of what is disrespect

3. While you may speak about Religion and Culture on chat, We wish for it to be kept clean and no fighting.

again this is ambiguous so if someone decide to say she believed she is a reincarnation of dracula(he is a fictional character) should i stay quiet

4. No talk of drugs or anything related to excessive drug use or being “High” or other terms of this type.

i bet this rule was made over the "dont cause problems to the wiki" but honestly alcohol and coffee are addictive drugs and i am addicted to coffee i am forbidden to talk about coffee? this rule should be "dont talk about ilegal stuff"

5. Keep debates civil and friendly on both sides.

and what the heck does that means, sorry guys i really hate when peoples strt with this o.o you are hurtig my feelings you have to be banned

6. No excessive role playing, if you wish to Role Play take it to PM.

this rule somehow imply that you can differ role playing from actual chat and honestly i dont think this is even possible

7. Sexual Harassment will not be tolerated.

and what is sexual harassment?

8. No form of transgender harassment will be tolerated.

wouldn't the sexual harassment deal with this one? besides we are on a chat nobody can tell our sexuality or skin color think about it

9. No spamming images, Smiles or text.

i have seen too many spam bans to accept this no no no give me a definition of spam and dont go banning peoples by spamming when nobody is on the chatroom this rule needs some working

10. No posting links to outside OEC communities.

now this is a problem let's suppose someone ask me about a 7nt chakra(for illustrative purposes) and i know this is a complex concept that i cant describe properly but i can't post the link to another community because its against the rules, besides what is even the point of this rule

11. No inappropriate content over pg-13 rating.

i dont even know what this means i suppose its "parental guidance sugested if under 13-years old", realy no REALLY this i a wiki where we talk about possession self hypnosis and a lot of other stuff and you need more than 13 to make a account why do we need parental guidance

12. No multiple accounts are allowed on the site

this is also a bad rule:

1- if someone had a problem with the account and had to create a temporary account using facebook

2- if somone has 5 or more computers inside home like in my case

3- if somone share the computer with somone else

4- if someone is linked to a network with other peoples

5- hackers and others from the likes

you can't say the reason peoples do other acounts and you cant even say if it was them who made it so this is not a good rule at all

i really really think we should focus ourselves on teaching methods and helping newbies this is what a wikia exists for
