21. Do not post My Little Pony (MLP)-related content on the forums.
It has actually just been one year. Time doesn't fly THAT fast.
Or EVERYONE can, but limited to not consider it spam/derail/whatever.

Four years ago, the threat of bronies invading the forums was very real and I consider the action taken to have been necessary.

That is what you said. And it hasn't been 4 years, but 1 year.
abbot common stop bad for you if u watch anime all day nigga u fuckn weaboo
Personally I think everyone should keep their shit to themselves but it's not fair to bronys that they can't post stuff while those weaboo people/anime lovers can. I think that either all of it should be disallowed or all of it allowed, one or the other.
Quote21. Do not post My Little Pony (MLP)-related content on the forums.First, as an introduction, let me make a concession. Yes, this rule was at one time needed. Four years ago, the threat of bronies invading the forums was very real and I consider the action taken to have been necessary. However, it is four years later and the brony community has matured much since then. Also, during the three years of which I have been a member here, I have never seen nor heard of a thread outside of Spam being spammed with ponies. Other than this reason, I do not see why anyone would put this rule in place unless someone is afraid that posting ponies in a thread will derail it and start a flame war. All of this brings me to my thesis that, in the absence of any such reason for this rule to exist, it should be removed or, at the very least, edited.Firstly, this rule is redundant. Spamming, derailing topics, etcetera are all covered by the other rules in the list.Secondly, why ponies in general? Where are the other fandoms whose content is just as obnoxious? How can people talk about anime non-stop in the shoutbox while everyone flips a shit over a single pony picture? For all this talk of ambivalence towards the fandom, I have encountered very little in the way of actual tolerance here.Which brings me to my proposed options:1. Remove the rule altogether. It is redundant and discriminatory. It has no reason to exist.2. Keep the rule, but include other fandoms. A good deal is when everyone is unhappy, right?3. Edit the rule to allow pony content in spoilers. That way, bronies can post their pics and anti-bronies don't have to ruin their beautiful eyes.
I don't want the forum to be flooded with brony shit, but I don't think it should be against the rules. That's just not fair.+1
What are you wanting to post? I don't know anywhere on the forum where stuff about children's shows should be posted that wouldn't be considered spam or derailment, aside from maybe social discussion. This is a forum for gaming, there's plenty of boards and forums that are dedicated to this where you'll find a great member base that won't complain when you post. Do you just want to post to start a fight? I like Avatar: The Legend of Korra, a show on Nickelodeon but you don't see me posting about it here because I'm not going to find many others that like it as well, there's no discussion to be had. I go to places where I know other members like the same thing.

I simply want to be able to express my fandom without discrimination. It's not right that an entire fandom has to keep its mouth shut while everyone else is free do whatever they want because of one auteur.
It has actually just been one year. Time doesn't fly THAT fast. But yes I do agree that ever since the whole pony odeal has pretty much passed over, it seems a pretty targeting rule.So it seems fair to either change it so NO ONE can post their fandom. Or EVERYONE can, but limited to not consider it spam/derail/whatever.
