Forum:Overcomplication

I have kept this thought in the back of my mind for quite some time, but I had no need to share it with you until recently. There have been many new policy proposals, some of which have been accepted, others not. The problem I see is that there are simply too many rules. Now, of course, I am not suggesting we should get rid of them, simply alerting users: Keep in mind while suggesting new policies that the more rules there are, the less likely a user is to edit here for a long time, let alone read all of the policies, which can in itself become a problem regarding Assume Good Faith. This isn't a major problem... just something that should be adressed.

I decided to post this after rereading Forum:Rollback requirements, where User:Callofduty4 suggested a policy which (in my opinion) overcomplicates a simple and working system that has no problems. Like that forum, many others have suggested similar changes in that they also overcomplicate already simplified things.

To the users that have lots of ideas regarding the good of the wiki, my advice to you is to wait and see what happens. Your concerns will be adressed eventually, don't jump the gun just yet.
