this place needs a newsletter - with a "what you need to know" section right at the very top bringing together and summarising any rule changes or other important stuff in short, easy to read form. Bullet points, at-a-glance kind of thing.

There's already a thread for this sort of thing.

yes but it's freaking enormous and easy to miss stuff. This is a game, not a college course, something a little more at-a-glance would decrease mishaps.

How do you suggest condensing that further? That is a serious question, just for the record, not anything snide... I'd genuinely like to see what you feel should be done because that's as condensed as I've been able to make it without leaving out pertinent information.

Let me quote it for example:

Quote:
Important Notes
Available Moderators
Mod Rulings and Punishments
Multiple Players In One Home/On One IP:
IP Sharing Info and Guidelines
IP/Multiple Account Verification Examples

Board Information
Netiquette on the Abyss City
Rules & Warning System
Things to Remember When Contacting Moderators
Private & Family Board Requirements
Adult Private Boards and Underage Persons
PG-13 Imagery and Writing (including banners AND RPs)
Banner Guidelines
NIA's (Non-Interaction-Agreements)

Board Rule Changes
In Character Insults
Rules Private Forum Moderators Must Know

Game Information
Updated & Modified Square Description Guidelines
Failure to Report Rule Violations/Cheating
City Wide Events - Opt Out List
Alts:
Az's Official Stance on Alt Characters
Quick Guide
Griefing: Update on Allowances and Public Character List
Dread's Note on Player Frustration and Camps

Helpful City Information
Orientation Board


That is a lot of information - that's not a briefing that is a full on manual and how easy will it be to find changes in there? Have I read it right that any updates to the rules will only be listed in the manual so the only way to find out what changes there have been will be to read the entire manual? Update the manual by all means but all I'm suggesting is put the errata somewhere so we can just look at the changes without having to read the whole thing. Is all.

No, you've not read it right. The changes are posted to that thread, added to that list, and then split from the thread once time's gone by for people to read the changes.
