I don't think we should completely wipe the rules as they are, but I do feel we should tweak them a bit and that we should also begin to enforce them more than we previously did. I feel if it's a bit easier to be banned for actually doing something negative, we'd be fine. I see a lot of mods and admins afraid to break up fights because they feel they'd end up being the bad guy, and in all honesty, they're not completely wrong. When we were a larger wiki (before the landslide of peoeple leaving) we were divided into many factions and/or cliques and I feel that banning/kicking many of the users who would start trouble ended up w/ the mod/admin going under a lot of fire - something that w/ the number and relations between the people who are still here, would not pose to be much of a problem.

I also feel that because of the number of people leaving, we should tweak rules that were affected by a number of people such as the voting rule. A 10+ support run would mean that basically everyone left who participates in forums somewhat would need to support. I don't think there have been many unanimous votes, so I feel we should tweak this rule if people don't come back.

I think a revamp of the majority of the higher up staff should be considered since a good number of them have left and will not be very active on this wiki as they will be on other wikis in this one's stead. Of course, I also feel it might be necessary to also lower the number of slots there are in each position to prevent a majority from becoming a staff member. What's the point in having staff members if everyone is one?

Also, regarding staff, I feel we shouldn't demote those who plan to spend time on both wikis as I know many people who moderate many wikis at once. However, I feel we should penalize them if their activity shows significant decline.

However, as of now, I feel we should hold off on making any major changes as both wikis, as of now, seem to be set up for failure and, if something major, such as a revamp of all the rules were to pass and come into affect, it would make those who support it look bad to the vast majority of the community. It would be like we pulled a fast one out from under them and that is something I do not want on any of our backs.

TL;DR-

1) Don't wipe rules- tweak them.

2) More enforcement.

3) Staff might need some tweaking.
