There are rules that we enforce that aren't actually in the rules. These include:

-Not posting stories on your profile or talk page.

-Not re-uploading previously deleted stories.

I could've sworn that both of these were in the rules, but recently when I've gone to check I haven't been able to find them. On top of that, there's enforcement policy that I've never followed, because I've modeled my methods off the methods of others.

Like: I have never banned anyone for chronic garbage posting, but we also stopped flagging for deletion.
 * 1) First page that has not been proofread or formatted: Page is flagged for deletion and you are warned.
 * 2) Second page that has not been proofread or formatted: Page is instantly deleted and you are given an automatic 3 day ban.
 * 3) For every time after the second, your ban will double in length. The third page will get you 6 days, then 12, then 24, and so on.

This is not okay. We tell people to read the rules, but if the rules are horrendously out-dated and incomplete to the point where we're not technically following them then that's going to create problems.

I don't know how it's gotten this bad. Chat rules get revised almost every month. When was the last time the main site rules were reviewed and edited?
