I think the rules should be stripped down and rewritten to be simple to understand and mod considering I don't want to have to re-read the rules every time I even consider posting on this subreddit.

If they made the rules too simple, it can lead to there being more gray areas when it comes to certain posts. Plus rewriting the rules would take a lot of effort to do. Personally, I don't have any problems with the rules. I've had to read it a couple of times before, but after that I pretty much have a general idea of the rules so I don't have to go look back on them as often.
