OK folks - I'm gonna lock this topic. But here's a few final comments I wanted to make:

- It is against the site rules to have multiple profiles. That's why some of your accounts were removed azrael. If it's not clear enough, I'll make sure to include it in more visible spots on the site.

The reason for this rule is that people do all kinds of bad things with multiple profiles. They use them to deceive other people. They use them to get around site rules or bans. They use them to pretend that another user is supporting their argument, etc. etc. So we delete accounts that we find have multiple profiles. Again, we'll make this rule more clear on the site.

- The rules are here to stay. I definitely agree with peachiepoohie that it'd be much better if everyone on the site could just behave like the adults that most of us are and follow the rules on their own, but unfortunately, we've learned the hard way that that will never happen. So, we (the site admins) created the forum rules to ensure that the forums remain the kind of place that we want them to be.

Frankly, our rules are extremely loose. We pretty much allow you to talk about anything and everything on the site. We even allow criticism of the site to remain in most cases - that's not something you'll find on other sites. The one thing we are extremely strict about is that you can't attack other users. If you find our rules too restrictive, then perhaps JSH isn't the right place for you. But we think most people appreciate the fact that the rules exist, and that the mods do such a fantastic job in making sure they are enforced fairly.

So thank you, mods, for everything that you do for the JustSayHi community!
