Placing rudders in front of the CoM

what i meant by in front was on top above the nose and any observation point in the aircraft, resembling a shark's dorsal fin -

okay okay no reason to get snippy, im just curious as to how a rudder ON TOP of your plane gets in the way IN FRONT of it, thanks again! -

I don't understand, am I supposed to take that seriously? -
Hey guys! I'm sure you read the title already so I'll just get on with it, while building SSTO's I noticed that I can't always place the rudder behind the center of mass because the extra engines move it so far back, so usually I just place it in front and it seems to work fine, it made me wonder why airplanes in real life all have a rudder on the tail, and what drawbacks having one closer to the nose of the plane made them decide not to utilize it. Thanks for the help!
