User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/New Community Central Chat Guidelines Announced/@comment-24055022-20170505001238/@comment-26402117-20170505100308

Actually, the previous rules were found to be too long by the mods and new users. I feel there was a focus on facilitating conversation but not pushing it away from troublesome topics, and it felt like the rules inadvertently limited the mods in that respect.

In my opinion, the new guidelines ensure people can get help and engage in topics related to Fandom or any wiki. Is that a higher limitation? Yes. But it's much more in line with what CCC was always intended to be.
