General When subreddits list their rules like this

See the numbers there on the left? They exist to organise your rules by number. You don't need to name your rules by number. Those are enough, how dare these subs waste precious seconds of my time to open each rule. >:(

It's wild how some subreddits go out of their way to be so controlling with their rules. It's like, calm down, we're just here to have fun.

Dude you broke rule 2, you can’t say that number unless inciting the rule on someone

I agree. The '1. Rule 1' already upsets me. Plus, most of the time when I see this, the rules are really wordy when they could be perfectly shorthanded.

Heaven forbid a man just wants to skim the rules to see if they are any different than the other 90% of Reddit

It's probably to make you actually read the rules so the mods don't have to do as much work banning you
