I don't know, to me explaining a rule includes explaining why it is desirable to have the rule in place. It is very clear what the rule does, it disallows any content a mod arbitrarily decides was posted by someone who isn't famous enough. The question I want explained is why that content should be disallowed. And that is the question no one has answered.

I don't know what else to say but to wish you luck with your protracted people's war against the moderators of the_dunk_tank

Personally I really don't understand all of the hostility and smug satisfaction with which you guys are regarding simple confusion regarding a rule that no one has ever explained. Is it not normal to be dissatisfied with arbitrary rules that have no apparent benefit to anyone and make one's experience worse? If you're so smugly superior to caring about this rule, why are you posting about it in this thread and trying to make me feel like I'm being unreasonable?

It feels very mean-spirited and I really don't understand it. It really does feel like straight up trolling, like if the mods enforced the "main" rule outside of the main comm and anyone who asks why gets treated like we're the ones being silly. Of course your posts should have "main" in them, why should we allow low-quality posts that don't contain the word "main"

Frankly if you're getting your posts removed for violating the main rule that's just a skill issue I don't have that problem

The mods have explained why the main rule exists it's so that you don't post stuff that doesn't contain "main" what do you mean that isn't a good enough explanation

Why do people keep posting stuff that doesn't contain "main" it's getting really annoying

Why are you being such an obstinate ass, just get over the main rule stop bringing it up
