if a rule changed would we be told or does it just quietly change

Highlights from this day
- retention_time — prices get discussed constantly. the rule is about arranging supply, not about numbers, ask me again in a month 10:29
- retention_time — the pattern is helpful in public then a better price in private, and it only works in private 10:32
- melb_meniscus — does asking which vendor is cheapest count as sourcing 12:21
- melb_meniscus — the reason two survives is that when it goes wrong it went wrong for you, not because a stranger said so 12:23
are the five rules written down anywhere or is it just whats pinned
borderline honestly
changes get announced. quiet edits would defeat the point of publishing the logs
half the enforcement is members saying that sounds like advice, mate
for the archive can i mention a supplier by name in here or is that rule three
is naming a supplier that scammed me allowed or is that the accusation rule

i used to think the private message rule was theatre. then someone lost €55 to a private offer
thats rule one
flag it in the channel where people can see it. thats the whole immune system, not the mods
genuine question if you think youre being sold to, say it out loud where everyone can read it
still disagree tbh
quick one does the no advice rule mean nobody can tell me anything useful
am i allowed to argue with a mod in the channel or should i take it elsewhere
mod will answer
the line is grammar. this happened to me is a report, you should do this is an instruction
genuine question, wheres the line between reporting what happened and giving advice
does asking which vendor is cheapest count as sourcing

the reason two survives is that when it goes wrong it went wrong for you, not because a stranger said so
coming back to this nobody has been removed for one or two in the time ive been here. three, a few
batches and documents are publishable, guesses about a named human at a company are not
follow up for one and two its usually a note and thats it, people forget and its fine
