you're referring to the number of repeat posts i made in the local forums? It was to reiterate the rule in the local forums.. because that's just about the only place it really applies.
The reasoning.. for this "rule" to be in place.. even if for a short time.. is because of a saftey concern. We can not moderate what we can not read. So changes need to be made.
There's only been this one new "rule" that has been applied, everything else is just reiteration of the guidelines that are already in place.
This is not to say that this is how it will be from now on, it is just how the ownership would like it to be for the time being.
