I think there's a point where there's a bit of 'blinders' on the policy stuff, particularly in certain communities throughout MU*land. I see people here saying that you don't need to define policies in the most strictest detail, but some of those polices - and people not following them -- are the very things that we bitch about on this forum. And then when it becomes a clusterfuck because there was no policy point to reference, it spirals into insanity.
From the standpoint of covering your ass as a staffer, have as much -- and as detailed -- policy as you need. If people choose not to read it and violate the policy, this is why you have stuff like a strikes/warning policy. It is not MY responsibility to make everyone read the policies; I can't force them to be reach. However, if you explicitly say 'playing here states you agree to the policies in X, Y, Z' and then they break those, you have your ass covered.
@Collective do your thang. Make your policies. You saw the link to mine; it's my expectation that that shit gets read and adhered to in order to keep the theme and setup of the game I want to run. And the environment I want to foster for players to enjoy themselves.
We really don't deserve the fluffs in our lives.
