Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time
I hate to sound rude, but in all honestly, you made me chuckle. The Forum Rules aren't even harsh; anywhere. They are what rules are meant to do, keep everyone in line. Now, for my explanations for you, since you may or may not know the reason behind the bannings of several topics.

I for one think they are.....for example people are not allowed to talk about that-which-must-not-be-named whcih is a type of armor which i think everyone would like to discuss.
The reasoning behind this is rather simple; people talked about it too much. When it was allowed, and you pondered over to the Halo 3 Forum, you would see a dozen topics about the armor; and that is only on the front page. Not to mention, in most of the threads about the armor, it was either asking you one would get it; or if the original poster could have it. Thus; the community felt tired of having to see every topic in the Halo 3 Forum being about the Armor, so we/they took action.
Another example which I find is the worst of all is the fact that we are no longer allowed to make screenshot or film clip 'contests'.
I mean this is a forum that we the public use a hell of a lot and what are forums for.... discussing and (for the mulimedia type ones) reviewing each others items.Im using this example mainly because its a forum and that doin these '''advertise your screenshots here!!!!''' contests would lower congestion and lower the amount of people that constantly do the dreaded bump.......
I could understand this from your view, however, there is one thing that has always shown up whenever I went to the screenshot Forum. Always, every single time before this rule was set in place. That is, there would be one thread for advertisement, one single thread on the front page. I refresh the page, and one more pops up; brand new, telling people to advertise their screenshots there; then another, and another, and another. You see, these and the Contests aren't actual contests nor are they to advertise your very own screenshot; they are to get your attention, so you could rate and download the original posters content. Nothing more.
Basically, every rule is there for a reason.
