Updated Forum Rules
What specific changes were made in the Forum rules from the previous version? I looked over it, and didn't see much of a difference, but my memory isn't what it used to be. Also, can you define what exactly constitutes, "encourage negative behavior"? Is this referring to in- game behavior, like hitting a survivor on hook or "tea-bagging", or perhaps disconnecting from the game? Or in-forum tone, like being overly mean, sarcastic, or accusatory?

From memory, to me it looks like they've been simplified.
Maybe some unnecessary rules were removed too, idk.
Probably good though, don't wanna overload (new) people with 100 rules.

Personally I prefer if they are more specific and clear, so that there is more consistency in the enforcement of the rules among all of the moderators and community managers. Sometimes it seems that some of them have different views on how to interrupt the rules. Which is why I appreciate that they had provided a specific example, "this is cancer" not being tolerated on this forum, in which some may argue isn't 'a big deal' or 'just an expression,' including some moderators.
Similarly, I've observed that some moderators may have their own rules about closing down community members' threads, despite the fact that nothing is written in the Forum Rules about factors and topics that may lead to it. If moderators are enforcers of rules, then shouldn't the rules be clearly written out for the community?

Yeah. They added a Survivor teabag emote like how they do in-game if they don't like your post.
