To be honest I haven't read them and I have no intention of doing so. Of course I do bugger all critiquing but when I do it's honest and well intentioned. I trust myself to be able to post appropriately, the people I'm critiquing to be able to accept it in the spirit in which it's intended, and the mods to be able to tell whether either of us has gotten it wrong.
Seriously, you don't want anyone posting here if they have to read a whole page of rules to know what it is they should and should not be saying. So the only reason the rules exist is to salve your consciences when you slap someone for being a dumbass. Harden up. Detailed rules will never cover everything and if you feel someone needs slapping then you're probably right, regardless of whether they've skirted just inside or just outside of whatever is set down in black and white in some thread which nobody ever reads.
