This suggestions premise is to reformat the current conduct policy ( totalfreedom.boards.net/thread/65799 ) to something like Hypixel's conduct policy ( hypixel.net/rules ) Reasons: 1. The current conduct policy is far too big. Nobody is reading a page full almost four THOUSAND (3617) words. There's also general confusion on the policy because it is so large and hard to find what you need. 2. It gives specific examples instead of concepts, when in reality most situations are different on a case to case basis. 3. The current conduct policy is not user friendly at all. It is also ugly and a general eye sore. Hypixels is neat and easily accessible. Im not saying we should copy Hypixels policy word for word, but at least the general structure/outline should be similar. If we do it like hypixels, we could have tabs that could display other important information, such as the adminlist, applications, player conduct reports, ect. The possibilities really are endless with how efficient we could be, rather than having information and policies spread out and difficult to find. I don't know if this is possible through proboards alone, but we have a totalfreedom website that we could put this information on? (Im not going to add a poll that says yes or no to this, as im not very knowledgeable in the tech side of things, and this suggestion has multiple ideas within it. However, I will add a poll that can be used to see the positive or negative support.) Note: this is not my idea and i definitely stole it from someone here but i forget who |

I like the idea, I don't know the scope of how easy it would be to implement but I'm all for it.

This was kind of my (incredibly rough) vision, excuses for the shitty paint im not the best artist   The tabs on the left would lead to different sections. The picture above would be the main page or something along those lines idk im not a graphic designer. Point is that all the important information is easily accessible and grouped together. |

While I do support the idea, I'm also aware that it's grown to be that long generally for good reason. I would be wary of going too far in the other direction, though I agree that it's unlikely anyone actually reads through and understands that policy now.

Note: this is not my idea and i definitely stole it from someone here but i forget who It was me. My idea was that looking at Hypixel's, we could put the full original text in the spoilers without creating the "wall of text" feel. I don't support rewriting (as opposed to reformatting) the conduct policy. |

I’m not sure if shortening the conduct policy is the best idea. I agree with Wild. However, your image is promising. I think if we had a better layout for sections and easier accessibility to different parts would be smarter. I also think that something along the lines of an admin handbook would be smart to write up. I’d be willing to do it, I’m sure there are other admins who would be as well, and I think that a detailed book explaining rank for rank command for command what to do in certain situations or even what policies come into affect in certain situations.

I would be wary of going too far in the other direction, though I agree that it's unlikely anyone actually reads through and understands that policy now. It can be shortened down though. I feel it can be worded better & most of the examples aren't needed as the rules are quite straight-forward as it is. I mean can be easily shortened down to "Griefing" or ""Destroying other players builds" |

Reformatting prevents this problem. |

make some kind of grace period where the old rules apply while forming the new ones This is where it stops becoming a formatting suggestion and more of a rewrite suggestion. People are getting ahead of themselves, I don't think we should replace "old rules" with "new rules", I think we should make the conduct policy with all of the clarifications it already has more readable in a different format. |

With Seth granting permission, me and a small team are working on REFORMATTING the conduct policy. This will be hosted on totalfreedom.me/ and will have several other features a long with it. We will not be deleting or adding any additional language to any policies without public input and voting |

Of course, but It'll mostly just be moving important policies and highlighting the server further on the totalfreedom.me website, which has little to no use currently |
