Post making contest 1.0

I say nay. I might shift if we agreed to conditions that they might be constrained by, but without such negotiations I say nay. The core problem is that they cannot work as a puzzle.

I also do not want further rules which relate to post numbers. The reason for this is simple: I believe every post should have a chance to win. Once you start making the post, then it passes or fails; but if the post number is part of the rules, then many posts are invalid before anyone has even made them. I do not believe this is good for the game. For similar reasons, I think posting time should be off limits.

Including the post number in your post is actually not a problem in this regard, as every post has a chance to pass or fail it. It is, however, a rule that is hard to stumble onto.

It is also good for people to clarify their rulings on tags/URLs. I would suggest this as a basic guideline and people can say if they are doing something else:
"Nothing within tags or URLs counts unless the rule specifically relates to the contents of tags or URLs".

This is a lot of writing considering I'm just kind of tossing my thoughts out and it's 1 AM, why am I still awake.
