>>5784611>And don't give me that slippery slope bullshit, nobody is asking for barbie and monster high to be let inI'm very, very active on DoA and believe me...there are people like that.
You sometimes have people in Newbieland who talk about their MHs and are all confused when people tell 'em they are in fact not on-topic.
Having rules that are sometimes enforced and sometimes not does indeed either lead to a slippery slope or endless discussions.
And I can tell you that as soon as you allow ABS dolls you WILL have people complain that doll so and so needs to be allowed now too.
I am glad DoA is so strict, there are enough forums who allow pretty much all dolls, I am glad I have one where I can only see BJDs.
However, the rules (and especially the criteria) are discussed frequently.
Like you said, the European dolls were off-topic once.
Doesn't mean that this will stay like that for animal/pet/creatures dolls forever too.
And I do agree that in case of like the DC/DZ companions some of the off-topic reasons are silly.
