Here is a list of the changes to the General Guidelines:
- The main content guideline (the first one) has been split into two guidelines.
- The first section of that guideline (now guideline #1) has been altered to replace "sexually-oriented" with "sexually explicit, adult." The sentences about the ESRB rating of the PS games was added.
- The second section of the aforementioned guideline (now guideline #2) has been rewritten to clarify the self censoring rule.
- Previous Guideline #5 has been broken into two parts and is now Guidelines #6 and #7.
- Guideline #7 has been loosened to allow linking to other sites that may have content violating Guideline #1, under the subconditions listed. This is mainly to ensure that, for instance, linking to a news site or another general Phantasy Star site is allowed.
- The ROM Guideline regarding official Sega releases was modified slightly (replaced "consist of an emulator and ROMs" with "may contain a ROM" and added mention of the Sega Genesis Collection).
- For signatures, the file size of images was increased to 10KB and the size of a line of text was specified.
- In Guideline #10, "personal information" was replaced with "personally identifying information."
- Added the point about roleplaying games.
- The content guideline has been rewritten, similar to the general content guideline.
- The self censoring guideline was clarified somewhat.
- The guideline about referencing real people was separated from the content guideline and clarified slightly.
- The languages other than English guideline was reworded.
Nice work.
