This is an issue of evading a punishment. That is all. Go make those threads in EoTW and all will be fine. If you can't because you are banned, well that sucks I guess! It was all explained from the beginning!
So why the different policy for EoEO? Why does it make a difference between EoEO and EotW?

It's not the thread types. EoEO is not the "this is the only place you can discuss personal issues," nor is EotW the "this is the only place you can discuss current events/history/politics." EoEO is the "this is the only place you can discuss personal issues seriously with no chance of undue amounts of spam" forum.
