    Rule proposition, in honor of the dead and gone Emilie Autumn fan forum:
    No slow chatting aka off topic conversation in threads.

    I once saw the most beautiful response to this. NCSoft made a strict rule of "no discussions of things other than City of Heroes" in the City of Heroes forums.

    Whereupon one of the regular posters, possibly a bit of a troll, posted a lovely bit of City of Heroes fanart: Her COH character, in costume, with a little thought bubble: "Gosh, I've been so busy fighting crime in PARAGON CITY (tm), I haven't had time to watch the most recent season of Glee. I wonder what I missed?"

    "Now let's talk about this very topical City of Heroes fanart."

    a limerick's humor is best
    when it passes a metrical test
    but most people can't
    be bothered with rhymes
    and wouldn't know meter if it bit them

    whereupon everything becomes "clarifications" of existing rules, which is to say, it's just like making new rules except they're worded in impossibly-dense ways to make it look like they're not.

    people don't choose their own icons; they're selected "at random" and periodically changed out of enormous and growing pool of images, out of some convoluted reasoning that the "equality" of no one choosing is a good thing.
