Although i am a mere pleb who has never ever been in a powered position, after witnessing many communities and there rules i have come to the conclusion that our rule system is a tad bit outdated now here me out, here are my suggestions

Abolish the no swearing rule now, here me out here. Now i do believe that swearing out petty words like "hell" or something of similar tone is discourages discussion to a large majority of users and does not help with anything unless it is of bad intentions, alot of communities often dont have no swear rules and are still extremely civilized.And often many who do swear in those communities are often usually inside jokes or often when they do argue with them they are often seen as immature thus encouraging more civil behavior. Now you might say that it might not be appropriate for some cultures, surprisingly many cultures do swear alot (example russians indians and french  and many other europeans especially in asia) so what im trying to say is that instead of controlling on what we can say instead we should encourage friendly discussion which i think will benefit both sides. How it will benefit both sides
 * encourages more users to come in


 * if there are more users and everything grows more civil when the floodgates of users arrive arguments will be more civil thus lessening user riots


 * if a future admin or mod with malicious intent will go rogue and starts banning users for swearing we can show that it is against the rules and thus an abuse of mod powers since the no swearing rule can be abused.

Now you might say that we are too small of a community but i think this will help us into being a more active community thus making it easier for newcomers to adjust.

The account delay

I think this is also one of the biggest problems in here, it might encourage spam but it also affects good intentioned users i best suggest that we atleast lessen the time it takes before you could post or give them an automated message or something

Lastly you might think that im crazy to remove the idea of insults as an offense but of course we will ban racist or political stuff in the wiki i just simply think that some of our current rules are far unneeded especially the ones ive mentioned here. Anyways let me know what you think and sorry if it took you awhile to read im just paranoid of tyrannical mods and admins taking over...
