Will the rules ever be re-written to be more clear, less vague, and less bad? 

Attached to that, the enforcement of the existing rules has been almost completely random and this is largely from the way that its up to interpretation. Off the bat Rule 1 gets violated frequently, but maybe it doesn't because people who make jokes flaming each other excessively or use racial epithets go unpunished about as often as they get punished. The problem isn't really big on the site, but the Discord has the same rules and is run by the same people, and then some, and its way more rampant of an issue there. And Rule 2 was an addition that came entirely from staff mistakes and behavior being brought to public attention so the whole thing comes off as a dishonest rule with very obvious benefits for the staff to keep enforced. And even then its enforcement is almost random too. And Rule 4 is the worst one plainly with a gem like "determining if a ban was fair is a waste of staff's time". That's almost the same as saying that putting any thought into banning people in general is a waste of time.

I get that the rules were rewritten before, you're welcome for that by the way, but the job was done poorly and should be considered a failure. When compared to the old rules you can say, at best, that at least there are now more of them and they are slightly less vague. Simply improving over "be Fonz cool" doesn't really mean the rules are good. Or fair. The rules in sections 1, 2, and 4 all need to be updated and improved significantly and the enforcement of all the rules needs to be done more fairly (which improving the rules to be less vague would improve that front on its own). Someone getting punished for making a joke that breaks the rules one day but someone else not getting punished for making a joke that breaks the same rule the next day is kinda sad. It's almost like there is a caste system where specific people can get away with things that others cannot, seemingly based on their relationship with the staff. Giving biased people the power to ban someone for making an "offensive" joke on their own interpretation, and giving them permission to not even consider if its fair or not to make that ban, creates the environment that everyone is complaining about today. It's not a users problem nearly as much as its a staff/authority problem. Trolls, angry people, and disenfranchised people will always be in the userbase but a punitive system can be fixed.
