Reader,

So what are some of the dumbest forum rules you have seen on a community?

I hate communities that have that rule of: No Advertising in Signature!

I think that is the lamest rule a site owner uses.

I think they used to ban users for asking for support for the PKE version of RMXP on RMXP.ORG, I think that's pretty stupid. Not to support pirating it, but, some people couldnt actually buy and enlish copy and when it came out people preferred the old interface, despite its flaws.

Yes that was rmxp.net (rmxp.org now hbgames.org). The rule showed up when it was officially released in the US.

I never have a problem with the rules it's usually just the mods(not this site), on other sites that get on my nerves. Just look at bleach forums before a hacker destroyed it. The mods were didn't know what they were doing and would just ban you without understanding the whole situation. The site owner was actually quite pleased that hacker kind of did that as he wanted to start over mostly because his mods were ruining the site and everything wasn't going as planned. So no, there's no known rules that bother me, just those above the law that thing there god because they have power on the internet.

I hate that rule too, Noob. RMVX.net doesn't even allow discussion of 9'11, not even on the day. Instant ban, for I don't know how long. I hate that very much.

@bigace:
Reminds me of the Bleach forum called Bleach Asylum -- that place is a trash bin for moderates and admins. Must rabid fanbase community I have ever been to.

@Crimson: Ironically, thats where most of the mods that were actually active went after Bleachforums.com crashed. And I agree that site does seem retarded as well. Like most site, it's full of people who think they know more then the writer and think they can write better then the creator of the manga as well.
