Jesus fucking christ, I'm well aware that it's their server and that they can do with it what they please, but they shouldn't be surprised when people call them on their bullshit and accuse them of ruining Fortress Forever when they cling to their little banlist like it's an achievement. They don't even seem serious anymore. It doesn't seem as if OT is trying to keep a family-friendly image. It's all about the e-peen. Let's make the rules so limited and vague, so we can just increase our ban list, and therefore e-peen.

It's like when AOL made the discussion to restrict the number '69' in the child and teen chat rooms back when I was a little nooblet and was kickin' the 56k connection back in '99 or so. It actually did the complete opposite of what was expected. The administrative decision was to ban the number because it refered to the sexual position, but the restricted only ended up with dozens of kids going to their parents asking what the hell was so wrong with '69'. Likewise, OT's nazi-esse regulation of FF does nothing to benefit it, and everything to harm it. It's counter-productive. (Meh bad example? Fuck it.)
