I still wonder why we need that arbitrary restriction anyway?

Well you asked about arbitrary restrictions... :)

Why would it impose such a restriction?

a) seems like a very arbitrary restriction

psykovsky | karma 625 | avg karma 0.92 · | 2014-04-03 10:06:43+00:00

So, all said, the restriction doesn't make much sense. I knew we would agree.

What reasons are there for these restrictions in the first place?

Why not restrict it only where it matters?

mike00632 | karma 885 | avg karma 1.23 · | 2020-11-25 21:28:13+00:00

That doesn't explain why there must be such a restriction.

drallison | karma 3863 | avg karma 2.62 · | 2011-04-25 23:09:41

It looks to be a typically outrageous limitation introduced without much thought or reason.

zeckalpha | karma 3100 | avg karma 1.88 · | 2016-01-24 02:52:36+00:00

Why couldn't the title mean that? It's not an unreasonable restriction.

giantg2 | karma 18870 | avg karma 1.42 · | 2024-06-16 20:44:41

I would guess so, bit that feels really arbitrary (like the rest of the restrictions).

jy3 | karma 43 | avg karma 1.54 · | 2021-03-16 13:27:19

Can anyone enlighten and explain why there were restrictions in the first place?

Not only is this a great question, it's an excellent example of how pointless this arbitrary restriction is. Thanks, Tim Apple.

wereHamster | karma 2767 | avg karma 2.83 · | 2021-06-02 15:58:10+00:00

What's the reasoning behind not allowing it?

estebank | karma 4736 | avg karma 3.39 · | 2019-10-13 00:46:23

And that is precisely the reason for the restriction.

gnarbarian | karma 3966 | avg karma 2.96 · | 2014-08-05 17:49:33+00:00

I wonder what (if there is one) the logical reason behind this exemption is.

giantg2 | karma 18870 | avg karma 1.42 · | 2020-12-08 17:54:15

So what's the reason for not extending these protections to all?

tbrownaw | karma 5348 | avg karma 2.25 · | 2011-12-22 11:08:17

What is the reason for restricting that, and is there really nothing else it applies to?

elihu | karma 7452 | avg karma 2.6 · | 2021-01-31 22:31:53+00:00

To me it seems strange that that isn't allowed.

kelnos | karma 35726 | avg karma 3.07 · | 2022-12-14 19:30:48

And many people don't. What's your point? I generally think we should err on the side of fewer restrictions when there's disagreement around the existence of things like this.
