Specialized Threads and Their Rules

[notdeadyet]

I've never read (horrors!!) the board's "rules" of posting, since most of them appear to be common sense (okay, maybe sense really isn't so common, but I digress) and good manners, so it's certainly possible that my question/observation is answered in those rules. But just in case....

There seem to be specialized threads developing, each with its own set of guidelines. For example, I noticed recently an "apology thread" where postings apparently should be limited to "Mea culpa. Mea culpa. I am soooooo sorry and now I am going to lash myself", and where other comments are not . . . appreciated.

And, today I saw a "supposition thread", which, I supposition, also doesn't cotton to postings other than the particular supposition.

So, what other specialized threads should the board/moderators be considering?
