+1. There are plenty of reasonable EPH reasons that may not be explicitly stated in the rules. Plagiarism, spitefic... there was even something in BFE a few weeks ago about a noncon fic that linked to a Pinterest mood board with photos of underage actors. That's maybe not technically against any rules but it was removed from the collection regardless.

Most exchanges don't even have policies in their rules outlining what an EPH is and when you can ask for one. Relationshipping included — it just says if a gift breaks the rules then commenting isn't required. And when EPHs are advertised to the community, they usually (rightfully so) don't say the reason.

- iirc this recipient has successfully participated in multifandom events before, so I am also less inclined to be charitable in terms of event culture mismatch

That's also why this comment rubbed me the wrong way. (And CYRT's Badfic doesn't qualify for an EPH, which the recipient knew already rubbed me even worse.) The vast majority of people will successfully participate in many exchanges without ever needing to ask for an EPH. If the recip isn't known for bad exchange behavior, the much more reasonable assumption is that they, like many participants, just aren't clear on EPH rules. Assuming ill intent just because they've done exchanges before feels like such a weird leap.
