Could you please number all the rules in Forum guidelines.
It would help interpreting Admin's action that are explained as "Post deleted due to violation of a rule #...".
Is it possible that Admins use another version of Forum Guidelines that already have numbered rules?

In the top of the reply box you will see the first guideline. It is very complicated and hard to follow, kind of like some alpine routes...Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.

And, while this has been stated ad nauseum elsewhere, admins have no authority or ability to moderate the forums. That is all onX.

There’s only one rule, explained above.

There are quite a few rules according to https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/120367660/forum-guidelines:

Rules of Communication:

Respect - please treat people with respect and use proper gender pronouns. Everyone here is expected to be respectful and considerate of others, including their ethnicity, sex, gender expression, sexual orientation, relationship type, socioeconomic background, religion, political affiliation, nationality, body type, age, size, and ability.

Personal problems - If you have a problem with someone, do not post publicly about it. This is a place to talk about climbing not personal issues or unrelated topics. If you feel threatened or unsafe, please contact Mountain Project. This is a place for our community to discuss climbing - not personal attacks.

Language - If your post contains content that may potentially trigger someone (e.g. rape, abuse, violence, etc.), state a clear trigger warning at the beginning of your post.

Not Tolerated:

No hate speech - Be kind to each other. Don’t insult or put down other members. Remember that sexist, racist, and other exclusionary jokes, comments, or imagery will not be tolerated.

No sexually explicit or violent material.

No bullying - there is a difference in offering someone knowledge/advice and making them feel stupid.

No repeated harassment of others - if someone asks you to stop, then stop.

Hate slurs of all kinds will not be tolerated.

Which can all be succinctly boiled down to "Don't be a jerk".

OK. Thank you. I got it.
I understand that the main rule is "Do not dare to have point of view different from officially proclaimed MP ideology."

On BaT They use a “non-constructive comment” policy, I thought it might work quite well on MP,

Of course, then almost nobody would post.

No. You see, now you're being a jerk about this.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
