Ok, don't get me wrong, I completely agree with the forum rules and I know firsthand that they do a ton of good for this forum. That being said, reading through them right now I can't help but think that they're a little rude. On one hand, the rules attempt to use 'legal language' with absurdly misused phrases such as "we reserve the right to..." that add little if any clarity and have the legal strength of a greeting card. On the other hand, however, the rules include meaningless and belittling lines such as "Nobody cares about your forum title." which are absurd when taken literally and nothing but condescending when taken how they're obviously meant. I love Bungie and I know from experience these forums need all the policing they can get, but it's not like they're 'intimidating' anyone with language like that and I, frankly, just find it patronizing.
You've only just noticed? I wouldn't be too concerned, though: you'll find yourself banned irrespective of whether or not you've broken a rule, since many moderators are sensitive souls.
