I just read the new rules, and I think they look great. Very well drafted, and quite clear.
Since I last read the Old Rules a quite a while ago, I was wondering if someone might be able to give me a “short version” of what the major changes were?
Again, it’s been a while since I read the old ones, but the basic theme of the New Rules seem to be very consistent with what I remember of the old ones:
be polite
don’t clutter up the site with garbage posts
behave like a reasonably respectful and decent adult
So would it, for example, be possible to get a quick rundown of:
(a) behaviour that used to be allowed but now is not, and
(b) behaviour that used to be prohibited, but now is not?

Hobbes,
The difference is primarily in the level of detail. What was not permitted previously is still generally not permitted. However, terms such as “personal attack” have been defined in detail.
