Any one of us should be able to post a thread like "Hey, I have a theory about Aquaman's breathing under water!", without getting jumped on that the poster didn't post in the "Appreciation" thread.
2.) You always get those regular members who will post in a thread "There is already a thread about this". And that just comes across as being rude. These people aren't mods usually, and just want to essential admonish a the thread starter. Not cool, and it often kills a person's desire to continue posting on a forum.
3.) For all intents and purposes, "Appreciation" in the title is the same as "Official", in the title. And we know that "Official" is not permitted.
