In the first place, who did these rules?
I mean, who is the Forum Administration?
Something that always has irritated me in Opera Forums was the lack of transparency.
I suggest a thread, locked, meant to inform posters in a concise way about who are the people behind decisions.
That will make an huge difference from MyOpera, where everything was obscure and non- transparent to posters.
And, please. First, the content, then the form. Grammatical hallucinated will have their time to post. 
First of all, let me make a plea that we stick, in this thread, to the matter in hand and limit it to comments (real comments that is) about the T&C, if there are any, so that we can move on from there in setting up the DnD Sanctuary. If other things like Transparency need to be discussed in due time then I suggest threads are started on that subject to pave the way.
However, not wishing to duck the question I will give an answer from my viewpoint but obviously reserving the right of Frans to give his own much more definitive remarks, him being the Boss.
So who wrote the T&C? Well I produced the first version which was subsequently updated following discussions with Frans and with the rest of the "team" who you can identify well enough by looking at the members list - they are either Administrators, Moderators or Staff. Basically they are people that have offered or been asked to help. So the result from that is that if there is anything bad about the T&C you can blame me and for anything good you can praise the other guys.
My part started when I offered to help was accepted by Frans (see Thread on Moderation).
As far as transparency is concerned, please remember the Sanctuary is still in an experimental phase and its "all hands to the pump" to get the thing up and running and on a secure footing. Frans is extremely busy and will presumably in time get round to some of the niceties but for now let's give the guy a break from doing purely Admin stuff when there's a lot of technical work around. It was with that in mind that I offered to help. The T&C, while a somewhat boring subject, is useful to set up quickly in that it will cover especially new members. Those already here are mostly familiar with our evolved D&D etiquette and know this as a sort of bench-mark.
I have deliberately not put detail on the Forum Administration (DnDSA)in the T&C; that will evolve in due time, but it's not fully set up and, methinks, not the most urgent thing at present.
Finally on Transparency, please remember that this thread is here so that Members have the transparency and opportunity to have their say about the T&C. I certainly take responsibility for putting those time limits for comments but I maintain that is practical, necessary. and needed now.
Regarding the T&C themselves, I have tried to cover the concerns raised up to now in DnD. In that I have been helped/hindered by the large number of examples available through looking at other forums and have used some things and discarded others. Unusually for these things the ownership of posts is that of the posters, excepting an ability of Frans to move the whole thing to another site if that is what is needed due to any change in the Dvd situation, without having to ask each one of us for permission to copy our posts.
Inevitably there are some "do or don't" remarks on posting. That is necessary to warn and stop unpleasant posters who might infect us. The level at which these things are enforced by Moderators will evolve; they are kept deliberately subjective so that the DnD can evolve its own character, being neither too fussy nor too heavy-handed. I'm a poster as well as a stupid volunteer so I am interested in posting in an environment similar to the pleasant one we have enjoyed in D&D for some years, with the same silliness, perspicacity and blood and thunder.
Can we please now put this type of discussion aside, or in another thread, and concentrate on the T&C.
edit: this will be my last post here for a couple of days because I am now starting my travel back to Wessex
