Then don't list any exploits to begin with. You should not have it half and half, where part of the rules are written and another part unwritten, passed on from mouth to mouth or found out via trial and error.
Effort it takes to add clear exploit onto the rules: minimal.
Time it takes to add clear exploit onto the rules: minimal.
Impact of adding clear written rule instead of whatever was this: immeasurable

Newer players weren't aware of it, though the circumstances around the announcement and the player sanctioning was kinda backwards iirc, where one thing should have been the announcement and the other a sanction.
Yeah it was a bit odd for that sanction to have been put out but im having a hard time grasping that we have had such an influx of newer players that they just didnt know. But I guess its a good thing at the same time? Not sure.

Violation Report Guidelines Wrote:2. Do I really have enough evidence to make this stick?
Sanctions won’t go through unless sufficient evidence is provided of the report. You were there for the entire incident, yep, but the administration was not. All we have to go by is what you give us. Is that enough?
What exactly is considered by the staff as "enough evidence" for a valid ingame violation report?
If it's, for example, a no rp engagement, you're probably going to need a video of the whole encounter, since it will be very difficult to prove otherwise that it was the other party that initiated the engagement.
If it's someone oorp flaming, or using the wrong ID, you don't even really need a screenshot since we can easily check these things on our end.

a long while ago I sent a VR about engagement without prior roleplay where I was flying a scanner drone and someone starts shooting as soon as they see me
it is literally impossible for me to start the engagement
dude wasn't warned or sanctioned to this day, which really blurs the definition of "enough evidence"
