   While some of these rules are reasonable, several of them leave "going   
   overboard" in the dust.   
      
   - "Posting pictures or photographs [...] of our characters."   
     => Posting pictures of cosplayers is prohibited.   
      
   - "Posting [...] tables of contents of our publications."   
     "Posting plot summaries [...] based on our publications."   
     => Reviews are prohibited, too.   
      
   WTF?! Talk about ludicrous. o_O
