    We enforce and regulate some pretty dumb policies. Cut the bureaucratic fat, I say.

    Assuming we don't spend weeks harping on it before we forget about it entirely

    If you think we're too strict, you're very welcome to leave and join Fool's Gold instead.

    Or /b/ I guess.

    I went to a forum where they banned me for making nine threads in a month.

    I think most of the rules here are pretty tolerable. The only thing that I find rather pointless is the swear filter. I don't have any innate desire to cuss or anything, I just don't see the point of censoring it on a fan site for a series primarily aimed at teenagers anyway.

    Also the signatures here are too large and colorful. The rules should be changed to only allow 150x100 signatures with 3 colors max.

    I'll have you know that I take my staff position at Fool's Gold very seriously and am a firm but fair staff member! - Heath (circa 2004)

    In all seriousness, I wouldn't say the EoFF is overly strict. It's probably the strictest board I've posted at, but that's not saying terribly much. I think most of the members know what's expected of them and so keep to the rules 80% of the time anyway, more than the rules being actively enforced upon us by staff members.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    I'm a masochist. PM link plz?

    (and by that I love to hate how people will ruin any online experiences for themselves. I also get off on bondage porn (please don't send any of that though))

    The google ads we used to run (we don't now, do we?) stipulated that we could not have certain swears on the forums. I don't think they're very appropriate myself either!
