I'm not saying to loosen the rules but some people decide they have to explain the rules with three pages of writing. Why? lol. Just take a look at Tommy's Bookmarks rules...it fits into a few lines and runs right next to his submit.

You go to some smaller LL and it's like reading the declaration of independence. There's been a few smaller linklists that went to such length to explain their rules that I had to cut & copy it into MS Word just to see the word count on it...the highest so far was 4,000 words.

The thing is, they were the exact same rules that apply at Tommy's or RR's...why did it take 4000 words to say it? Then when they change their rules, etc, they wonder why no one took notice that one sentence in the novel got changed.
