Why not write in the habr rules clearly and clearly what is prohibited and what is not?

Question

Habr

The question is obviously caused by this:
"Once again for those who are in the tank: published someone else's post - lost my account."
Why not just write in the rules clearly and clearly what is prohibited and what is not? No matter how I searched, I did not find a clear ban there.
It seems to me that such things should be stated in the rules, and not in the form of a huge and annoying "inscription on the fence."

Answer 1

When you create a topic for the first time , a list of rules appears and you need to put a checkbox in front of each of them. Here is an excerpt from there:

Answer 2

So it's more profitable.
It is possible in controversial situations to interpret the rules as needed (administration) and calmly remove users.

Answer 3

Have you even read the rules of Habr?
Habr is not for offenders. It is forbidden to discuss the rules of the site and the actions of the administration aimed at their implementation. These questions should only be addressed by email.

Answer 4

Yes, it seems like everything is clear and understandable that on other people's posts you raise your rating and earn karma points.
Let's look at an example. There is a person on Habré who has little karma (less than 5). This person, instead of earning points for himself (due to his laziness or for other reasons) - asks another habrazhite whose karma allows you to publish posts, publish a post. And since, without writing the author of the article, you steal it (in the literal sense of the word), then this is a violation of the rules of the habr ...
Maybe, of course, I don’t understand something in this life, but I agree with such a habr rule.

Answer 5

I was about to ask the exact same question. Why isn't this in the rules?
Of course, in addition to the rules, there is also a certain “spirit of Habr”, unspoken rules, so to speak. But this ban does not fit with them, kmk. Another thing is that many, publishing someone else's post, write about it almost in bold CAPS before habrakat, but for me, it would be necessary to write modestly gray at the very end of the article.

Answer 6

You could just write a letter to the administration, and it was not necessary to discuss the rules in q&a. Although I admit I am also drawn to discuss this, but rules are rules.

Answer 7

and I've been looking for a long time how the rating and karma are considered, I didn’t find something, it seems not everything is so simple there

Answer 8

I repeatedly noticed terrible plagiarism among topics, for example, a completely torn off chapter from some textbook (especially in sandbox posts). So what? Did any of these people lose their account? Yes, many even pick up non-sour pluses in karma! Apparently this situation in a strange way does not fall under the concept of "published someone else's post"...? But for the author, but not personally, your topic can be banned, mnda.
