Some Real-Talk: Hawkspace After Dark Problems

do you want me to start wandering into grand battles and start posting unrelated junk there? would that be fair to the people participating in that?

That is not a comparable situation because grand battles are not, in part, an anything-goes discussion forum.

If I go into the saxophone thread and post a saxophone, I'm participating in that thread. If I'm also opting not to care about the silly rules when I do, I'm not disrupting that thread.

I guess if there's a "No Saxophones" rule and I post a saxophone and people go "what are you doing" and I'm all "I don't want to deal with this" that may be a bit disruptive, but that's really as bad as I can see it getting and it requires a pretty specific series of events.
