As it stands, mod rulings are public knowledge. Ignorance of the rules does not count towards innocence as far as I know. So none of that would change. It's really just about codification and consistency. So if someone had violated a certain rule once and a certain ruling was given, that ruling would guide future rulings. I would like to see some other things codified. For instance, you have a right to defend yourself if you are reported, but you may not have the opportunity to. People who report are not required to inform the person they report that they are being accused of an offense and time isn't necessarily given for them to speak on their own behalf. It just doesn't sit right with me. We could stand to have outlined procedure as to how you can defend yourself and that procedure ought to allow for a period for you to do so and, hopefully, make it so that someone would inform them they were being reported ffs. As it stands, I just do a search for my name in Moderation every once in a while. Only way I can think of to keep up on it.
