I think we might have to hire a librarian for that.
Speaking as a former librarian, I think it might be more suitable as a job for an archivist.
And a masochist.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse for transgression.
Most of the general board rules are in ATMB, so I say that ECG should consolidate them 
Seconded
Thirded.
Why does this feel like three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner?

NITPICK: The OLD saying actually goes, “The proof of the pudding is in the tasting.” Which, if given a little thought, actually makes sense in a way that “The proof is in the pudding” doesn’t.
SECOND DERIVATIVE NITPICK OF THE NITPICK: “The proof is in the pudding” has been around for long enough for it to be considered “old.”
Fourthed.
Lookth like ECG ith gonna find himthelf fourthed to take on a tathk he doethn’t really want.
Hey it’s a dad joke. I’m a dad (it says so, right on the box), so I’m kinda obligated to make them.
That’s just daffy.
I think common sense guidelines are enough to start off, and the ones most people with start with. A lot of rules that are actually important will be normally learned thru context of postings and mod interventions on other people’s postings, some by direct mod intervention (warning or whatever). For the curious one may lookup the specific rule. All and all this I believe is the common pattern, start with common sense-> Learn from context of posts and mod notes -> look up any specific rule to see it’s limits when it seems to be coming into play.
The simple fact is that we DO occasionally see the odd overly aggressive and insulting Internet person come in here and cause trouble. They behave like so many other places allow - mean, rude posts filled with ad hominems and other insults - and they get noted, then warned then shown the door.
But a certain amount of them learn the value of a place on the Internet where adult discussions - more or less - can occur and stay put. Those people are the metal in the ore of the Internet that we try to refine. It just takes a while and some rules enforcement.
It actually wouldn’t be that hard to consolidate all the rules. Most of them are linked in easy to find places, then it’d be a matter of copy and pasting them in one thread, and leaving it open for people to identify any that are missing. Append as comments come in, then after a sufficient time, close the thread, and recopy them to a new stickied thread. I may actually do that for shits and giggles at some point, but I’m currently aggregating data for another board project.
Christ, I write comics, do math for fun and LARP and even I think we’re a bunch of nerds.
Should I report this post? Not to junior mod, but ATMB isn’t the place for insults.
No, but compliments are allowed anywhere on the board.
False. We’re not gonna have any of that nonsense going on in Marketplace.
Well, not unless they’re paid-for compliments.
