gollark: What?

gollark: You shouldn't really, unless you plan to lean heavily on dictatorial direct control. Make the other rules clearer.

gollark: Rule changes should occur if there are actual issues needing to be addressed. Some of these changes do indeed address issues people have raised, but as far as I can tell nobody has actually had an issue with advertising and cargo-culting unnecessary strict and unclear rules from larger servers is actually bad.

gollark: Again; do you actually have a justification for the advertising rule change beyond "all rules should be stricter because [things]"?

gollark: Answer the question, please.
