	Something else I would like to see on the forum - A defined list of rules for the Status Bar. It gets treated as a black hole on the forum. It is spammed, people talk smut on it constantly, and more. Granted, I would also like to see a limit of updates allowed per 24 hour period but that is a coding issue and nothing can be done about that currently but a list of rules or the rules being enforced there would be wonderful. Though I think sometimes it is a blackhole is because it is looked at as a spam section? Maybe? I'm not sure. 

	But yeah, an enforcing of forum rules on the status bar over all, or a defined list that applies there would be huge.

To be honest, it's difficult to police the status bar updates. They update so frequently that they're tricky to keep up with, unless we go read back through [i]everything [/i]that's been posted. We don't have the ability to change user's statuses if we do happen to see something scroll by quickly. (We used to be able to go into a user's profile and edit almost everything down to updates and posts, just in case. Now we do not have that ability.) So, I think it has devolved into a bit of a black hole just because it's hard to keep up with. We need the ability to make edits more easily and for statuses to have report options, just in case a moderator misses the status in question, then it can be dealt with retroactively. To do this as things are set right now is a big task. I kind of hate the status updates just for this very reason -- they are a moderating pain in the ass.
