Yuletide Weather Forecast:
 
Temperatures are estimated to fluctuate between active panic and total apathy into the next weekend. Main assignments will have a minimum temperature of regret and a complete climate change once editing is complete. Expect treat writing to continue at all free hours unless the dangerous front of procrastination cropping up in the Northeast successful moves into the area, effectively killing the treat storm conditions for the season.

Re: So many socks

Right. So we don't need an anti-socks rule just to get rid of badly-behaved socks, they are got rid of for being badly-behaved. So we have the occasional well-behaved sock that gets booted largely at random. Meanwhile there's a large number of people (many of whom aren't really *that* careful about never mentioning they have a sock) who get away with it, but only because they're insider enough to know that it gets winked at, and anyone who isn't insider enough or doesn't want to actively break the rules doesn't have the option.

Like: Honestly, the entire Yuletide FAQ is currently written as if the rule is "one signup per AO3 account." All they would have to do is quietly remove rule #1 and voila, that becomes the de facto standard. Make sure NovaMisting-type gimcrackery is covered under general bad behaviour rules (which it should be) and Bob's your uncle. Or possibly dentist.
