That would require way too much memorization on everyone's part.
But there's a much bigger reason.
The things you listed is the all-inclusive list of the things the user agrees not to do as a condition of using the site.
Not all of those are things we consider ourselves or our chairpeople empowered to determine. Libel is the most frequently used example. Our inclusion of things like Libel doesn't mean that we will determine that a post contains libel.
Having every user assert that they will not do certain things is not the same thing as saying that we will scrutinize every post and do all of the necessary legwork, including bringing every post up before a judge, to determine whether or not the user broke his promise and posted something that was, among other things, unlawful, libelous, deceptive, or fraudulent.
I've struggled for years to come up with a clear, concise explanation of the fact that there's a difference between what we require a user to agree not to do and what we take responsibility for determining. Is there someone out there who can express this more clearly?
