I wonder...how would the board feel about having an easy to find "rules" link, say either on the front page or on top of the Administration board, which provides a "cheat sheet" of ONLY the current rules, announcements, as well as an abbreviated "civility checklist" (with link to the existing more detailed explanations)--all free of editorial commentary. That way, if it was a separate special section, anyone could easily find it and check on something that seems unclear, without spending lots of time, and there would be less excuse not to know the latest. Perhaps the link could have a note on the outside saying, "Last update (date)", and could be alterable only by deputies and Dr. Bob so as to not become cluttered or confusing. (The date could be a signal to anyone that it's time to look and see what the development or change is.)For example- "what's going on with that 3 post rule anyway?"
Let me glance at the checklist.
"what's the story about including urls?"
Let me glance at the checklist before I post.
"Is there anything new that I should know today?"
Let me take 2 seconds to glance at the checklist/bulletin board to see if there is any update indicated.The Admin board is nice, and useful for discussion, but it can get confusing to keep up here accurately because one often needs to spend condsiderable time sifting through the developments and reasonings in long posts to try to deduce what is going on and what has been decided. Informative, but not always efficient or easy to understand.
Just an idea.
