Rule 1: Must use all letters in the word "post", in that order. Can be distributed anywhere in the post.
Rule 2: Must not have consecutive letters of the alphabet following each other in alphabetical order. So "ab" breaks rules, "ba" doesn't. Non-alphabetical characters and spaces don't count as interrupting.
Rule 3: Must include the number of rules broken other than this one somewhere in the post. Numerals of any kind count, as do the words. So do "first", "second", "third", "fourth". "to" and "too" do not, tags don't. Individual digits of larger numbers do; however, I didn't apply this to Roman numerals.
This means a post that passes all rules must have a zero.
Rule 4: Must not have more than three BB code tags of any kind.
Rule 5: Some set of consecutive words must spell an English word of at least three letters with their initial letters. Any set of characters counts as a "word" here. Non-letter characters are included, so "Ants & Bees" would be read as "A&B". I made some potentially iffy calls on obscure words here.
Post titles, signatures, URLs and the contents of tags are ignored for all rules. So are any words in pictures or videos posted.
Rule 4 turned out to be really easy to avoid. The rest kept tripping up on each other, which was sort of the point of Rule 3 but it wasn't as intentional with the others.
"sPace cOnSorTium" happens to pass rule 1 without breaking rule 2, that's why it was so effective overall.
The winning post meets rule 5 because "DANCE A DANCE" spells "DAD" and I opted to count that as a word.
And g0m provided the needed zero for Rule 3 to count.
Congratulations to everyone for your persistence. I welcome you all to the Space Consortium.

Executive decision I'm not including anything within the actual tags, same as how fogel did it.
This post fails rules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Good job.

I sadly do not claim to know the mysteries of birds. I can however tell you that this post breaks rules 2, 3, 4 and 5.
