Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.
Well, OP, people wouldn't say these things if they weren't necessary. I think we can all agree that Halo: CE discussion does not belong in the Reach forum, just as what an OP ate does not belong in the Universe forum. Almost always, one can discern quite easily the appropriate forum for a thread. Considering every forum guideline thread can be found at the top of the forum, for everyone to read, I don't see why people wouldn't post in the right forum.
Secondly, though I can't speak for other users on bungie.net, I would much rather read a post with a well thought-out topic and well-written body that promotes discussion than a wall of text with a hastily-created argument fraught with grammatical and spelling errors that barely allows for any discussion.
Finally, though I personally have nothing against it, I can see how people would be annoyed with people who say inb4. Almost all of these posts have nothing else in them, which does not serve to promote any discussion in the thread.
I don't thing the rules are bad, so much as they are common sense and etiquette. At least, that's my $0.02.
