What eight rules should every server have?

Yeah this is all I care to enforce usually. Codifying rules just leads to people trying to weasel their way around them. The more specific you get, the worse they are. Even something like "Don't spam" is a headache because then you have to decide where to draw the line between what is spam and what isn't.

Another good way to put it. Sometimes you'll want to have a few clarifications of what shouldn't be done in specific cases, but people capable of properly functioning in a social environment don't need to be told not to act like an starfish.

I believe common sense already involves everything.

in a sense it does, but at the same time you have to define everything out for everyone.
the way I see it, the rules are the pillars of the structure that is your community. You have walls and the interior, windows and doors, but you need to fill in the cracks. You fill the cracks between server and rules, by "common sense"
It's a filler. It can't dictate EVERYTHING, because people don't all think alike.
