Rules
One thing I hate doing when I'm working on a new game is writing up the Rules post. There's such a fine line between saying too much and being too restrictive, to being too laid back about things. So I'm wondering a few things...

1. Can anyone point me to what they think was the absolute perfect set of rules/faq/information that they saw in a game they played in?

2. What rules do you like seeing, or expect to see information about?

3. What rules are a complete turn-off to you for a game?

Thanks to all! And as always, thank you to everyone in this community for all of the wonderful resources.

I'm obviously floundering with writing up rules/faq pages, so I don't have good answers for 1 and 2 myself yet. But for #3, there's one I've run into which actually drives me nuts... I don't like rules which police the length of posts.

But that's because I don't headgame well, and I don't personally like posts which go on for three paragraphs of information with only one line of dialogue to respond to (or sometimes no dialogue). I'm happy with content that furthers a thread, whether that response is 1 sentence or 10, so I tend to avoid including rules which dictate that all posts have to be a certain minimum length.
