The fact is rule one has the most rule precedents, which receive a large majority of warnings and bans from admins for violations. When a ban is levied it generally isn't a vague "You're a dick," but more player did X which is against this precedent.
Rule 0 - "Chelp george melons griffin me TehPear! Come ambigiously roll HOS or like (HG/
TechnoAlchemist) assume you are being funny and abuse your authority to 'make it all better' (summarily violating law 10 & 0 for a caught antag) because admins & coders are sometimes so out of touch with the player experience its embarrassing like your grandparents making racist slur jokes at a christmas get together.
Rule 2 - Everyone knows everything anyway and you're asking them to 'roleplay' forcibly its hard to enforce the abuse
Rule 9 - Nobody enforces this, we don't even check except to shut out squealing kids on OOC
Rule 5 & 7 - Relating DIRECTLY back to the argument of 'laid back experienced players in HOS' this basically exclaims that whichever way you play, either by not agitating anyone by being a passive HOS, or a super over the top new player in the role, you will get banned
hence why barely nobody plays sec anymore (unless you are a meme and have admins in pocket or on your meta-friendlist to not enforce via rule 0)
Rule 10 - "
Losing is part of the game." The most sensible of all the rules we should take into account more often and push for more priority, some people cannot handle being caught and admins oblige.
(TL; DR) the rules are garbage and mostly guidelines to common sense and manners, there are fringe activities you should really ahelp to ask about & hopefully get guidance if you need it but if you fail its your own fault. Some admins can't grasp rule 10 and some players take this salt and resentment to coderbus and degrade the game for everybody (
