I don't know how many of you pay attention to the little announcements box atop every forum here, but I know these sorts of threads always seem to catch more notice.

That said, the forum rules have been updated.

There have been minor changes, but they're still the same old rules you've come to know and possibly love. Or hate, if you get into trouble a lot.

Definitions are clearer, examples are given, and it's all fancy and list-styled.

The goal was to create something that sounded less "official" and offered more explanation. Hopefully, I have created such a list. These modifications were discussed by staff members and senior active members alike, so my input came from sources outside of the staff.

The previous set of rules will remain active until the third of August in your time zone, and then expire from public view. If you wish to compare rulesets, now is your chance to do so.
