We have a lot of need for more rules. But adding them isn't anywhere near as simple as one might think. There are legal issues as well as logistical problems. Every new rule increases greatly the amount of reports staff recieves.
I'm being forced into a corner by members when they suggest and sometimes even demand new rules. I've had enough and as of today all rule suggestions will get vehemently denied.
New rules will come in my timeframe.

I hope to see members focusing their suggestions on how to improve the forums or add neat new Ub3r/l33t features, instead of whining because some shred of blackhat activity is allowed in some corner of a forum etc.
This is good. Will cut down on all the darn suggestions.

1. Rule suggestions. I will not take them at all. No one but me makes the rules here.
2. Moderator Suggestions. I don't care what section you think needs a moderator or who you think would make a good moderator. Staff is chosen by me and current staff alone. Don't PM me or staff either kissing ass to be on staff. It won't happen.
3.Sticky Suggestions. I'm not interested in your opinion about what makes a good sticky.
4. Layout Suggestions. I control the design of this site. I don't want to know what you think is better.
5. Regular Member Features. If a feature is only for l33t/ub3r it's not going to be handed down to regular members who did not pay for the feature. Any new features of the site will almost always be for upgraded accounts.
6. Chat/IM/Shoutbox. We will very likely never have any chat system in place on this site and for lots of good reasons. Use the IRC it's basically the same damn thing.
7. Thanks Button. I will not add one here. Site is too large and a feature like this would cause load problems.
8. Member Restrictions. HF will not be taking suggestions for new restrictions on the site based on post count, registration date, or reputation.
9. Nyx-. Anything concerning a Nyx suggestion will result in your permanent ban.
I want to shake your hand and buy you a drink.
When I'm in a better mood I'll probably reword and explain better some of the items. Right now just tired of the repeated suggestions I have to deny everyday.
I absolutely love it. Now hopefully there won't be a new page of worthless suggestions every hour.
What about an update on an old rule?
Rule 9 is my favourite people just need to learn to grow up about all that I did.

No need for a update on this, if people are stupid enough to disregard this thread and post something listed from the above they deserve a ban.
Thanks for the information Omni.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS MEMBER
Glad this is finally sorted so people can understand :)
Lol @9
People seriously bitch that much about nyx-.?
I'm not surprised that people bitch about Nyx- that much that it becomes contraband.
Meh, I haven't seen too many Nyx- haters lately, or maybe I just haven't been paying attention. I thought there was definitely going to be something in those rules about suggestions of notifying you when there's a new post or some crap.
@OP
You Forgot Add No Suggestions on What Suggestions Will Or Will Not Be on this list.
Anyway good idea should cut down on the massive amounts of spam and crap this forum deals with.
