Reply #84: Suggested simplified revision, from a forum (not political) libertarian.

[woo me with science]

1. Teacher, someone hurt ______'s feelings! (covers all personal attacks, group insults, and insensitivity)

2. Teacher, they are picking on ________! (covers all harassment and threats, and divisive rhetoric)

3. Teacher, someone threw up/went poo in the classroom! (covers wrong forum and off-topic posts)

4. Teacher, they cheated! (covers forum or group-specific rule-breaking, inappropriate source, copyright violations, and spam)

5. Teacher, they said a bad word/drew a naughty picture! (covers inappropriate speech, avatars, and sig. lines)

6. Teacher, they are beating up the hall monitors again! (covers interference with moderation)


Actually one and two could be combined ("Teacher, they are being mean to __________!"). Personally, I think five is a nice, round number for rules.
