    We need DOs and DONTs in addition to CoC

    I dunno whether it actually exists but wouldn't it be more logical to issue certain DOs and DONTs of the forum rules IN ADDITION(not replace) to the CoC.
    I mean the CoC is far too long and I have to admit even I have not read it properly.
    A well compiled DOs and DONTs pointwise would be much clearer to forum users in general as compared to the paragraph and then each point enlisted style in the CoC, isn't it?

    If it already exists. Could anyone point me to it?

    There really isn't a shorter version than this. However, if you need a "nutshell" version, here it is.

    Be respectful of all users at all times. This means please use etiquette and politeness. Treat people with kindness and gentleness. If you do this the rest of the code of conduct won't need more than a cursory mention.

    That was short.

    But I was thinking whether like this:
    (Note these are not official or actual rules)
    DOs
    1) Be Respectful
    2) Do not bump the thread repeatedly after minutes or few hours. Maybe 10 hours and so and preferably 24 hours.
    3)...

    ....................

    DONTs
    1) Dont use RFTM.
    2) Don't insult some community or someone personally
    3) ...

    ....................

    Something like that. (I don't know all the rules myself and few of the rules here I listed are just random rules that came to my mind, the bump one is manipulated lol.)

    It's not a bad idea. We have something like what you are thinking for forum features, but not for rules.

    If someone writes up something good, I'll gladly make it a sticky in this forum.

    Hope someone does. Don't look at me though. I am not very adept to understanding and describing rules.

    I'll try and draught something up with a few others on IRC and I'll sticky it.

    Suggestions are welcome
