That's not what we need. We can't censor everybody. Keep the rules as they are; they're fine.

I don't think these should be tightened, until the ones already in place are adequately enforced. I'm new, so I'm not sure how big an issue this is, but in my experience, creating more rules makes little sense, if you aren't enforcing the ones you already have. After all, what incentive is there to follow them??

Nah. Half my drivel would die. UPDATE: I have never read the rules all the way through. (haha?)

Easy, people, you don't have to sleep with the rulebook under your pillow. . .

The old guard establishment would love this but many users would get bored, plus many mundane topics and subjects have been covered already. If this should this happen, the sight would be only old guard commentators with their many comments who would eventually become bored just as well.

As a moderator, yeah, I see where this is a good thing for RIA, to have set guidelines to promote a logical pattern for weblists to follow (as far as structure is concerned). Personally, though, it doesn't bother me all that much, and I don't see much reason to get all bent out of shape because of them. I like many of the lists that people complain about, specifically those that are light-hearted or open-ended. If RIA does end up taking them out, that's fine, but I'm not going to sit here and whine about their existence, either.

i agree with this b/c right now we have another pointless conservative vs liberal, blue state vs red state list up called Which Red State is the Dumbest how stupid is this?

There is already too much of this here. There is too much political correctness monitoring from the powers to be. Its as simple as weeding out the trouble makers sooner. Its usually easy to see who they are.

Perhaps they need to focus on more than just a few aspects of weblist creation but I think their overall pretty good as they are.
