My suggestion is about making Forum Rules more understandable for everyone. In my opinion, as FR presented now, are not as clear as they should be.
What i mean, that in several points of FR there is a room for free and wide interpretation of each rule.
For an example, there is a rule "No nudity, pornography, or sexually suggestive content." Sounds clear enough for everyone? You could say that.
But not quite.
Many users were warned and suspended on the ground of breaking this rule unjust.
Ofc you should be warned for posting plain pornography, but in older days when you could quote train and you quited someone just to reply and maintain conversion everyone in that quote train were warned despite that there is NO rule about quoting a picture will get you in trouble.
Or even content itself is left to mod team interpretation and judgment at point that in some boarder cases some users would be warned and some not. But when you try to object to this, you get some weird answers from mod team that this rule was always in and that is me silly user who should be aware of it.
Or when i found out hard way [current warn] that even a drawing of a penis will get you warned and suspended.
Why don't you try and find this rule?
Sure, i have nothing against following forum rules, but PLEASE why don't you say to us clearly: what we CAN and CAN NOT do on this forum. If there is a rule, it must be written and not left out to free judgment of mod team.

Every single user of this forum must be informed and must have free access to entire version of Forum Rules. Put the end to free interpretation of Forum Rules. Let us know when some rule is crossed or can be crossed BEFORE we get warned and then after extended PM communication with mods gets lectured that it was us who were wrong all along.

If all those cases are crystal clear for mod team, then make it so for the rest of us: users of this Forum who still haven't giving up on this place, despite that we have been treated like we are unwanted here in many occasions.
Do not just say, that you want make this place enjoyable for everyone, make it so actually ... or at least make an effort to do so.

TL;DR version: make Forum Rules more understandable with comments and examples on each rule, so there will be no doubt what this rule is all about

and my point of view, if you red ofc what i'm suggesting, is to make this full version of Forum Rules accessible for every user of this Forum.

Then do not warn us for something we had no idea about

a drawn penis is not sexually suggestive? Or if you drawn female genitals wouldnt it cross your mind that its not allowed? Just surprised you took your current warn as an example
imo it is. your suggestion is fine, i wouldnt mind but i think it wont happen cause it would end up being a book.
