I like how Lady Go Diveher complains about the number of rules while at the same time apparently wanting more rules governing fleet compositions/sizes and ships.

If I were an FC of a 1600 member corp I would:

1) Make a list of fits to suit particular fleet roles on their site
2) Have a member pick one of these to fly and fit it out.
3) Have them join the fleet in the right wing / squad
4) Know where all my assets were in the fleet as a result, and their capabilities
5) ???
6) Win

They don't do any of this. They don't need to do any of this because they *mindlessly* blob.

If you actually want to teach fleet composition and fleet design then all of the above is essential training, not some half-assed rulesheet.

Rules that make sense should be there, but their list of asinine rules are nothing more than pointless.

Actually look at the rules. How many of them help the player? They're all a completely self interested list of conformities.

All members must avoid exits which lead to Claimable NullSec, only making use of a wormhole leading to these regions in the event there are absolutely no alternatives, and must contact a Director via convo or forum PM before proceeding, then travel directly and immediately to the nearest authorised system without stopping.

Really? Last time I fell out of a hole into 0.0 I made some good friends and got blued. Guess they don't teach communication skills, then. v0v

Missions, Ratting, Mining, Hauling and Exploration sites in known-space are prohibited

I guess d-scan and checking local doesn't exist, then.

Hi, I'm a Dramiel and can be of no use in PVP. Add to that their ban on SB's (really!?) and interdicors, and you're left with LOLBLOB again.

Rigs are prohibited on Tech 1 frigates, destroyers and cruisers

Hi I'm a gimped Rupture. But don't worry, I follow the rules.

If moving in any other ships, you must be travel fit until you reach your destination. This means all low-slots are filled with Warp Core Stabilizers and the mid-slots are filled with an appropriate shield buffer tank

Please fly a ship that can be locked and infini-pointed in 1 second by a Heavy Interdictor. We don't allow these ships (see above) so likely fail to grasp this is a very common mechanic.

I could go on all day.

They're acting like the big **** in the EvE universe because they have some recognition. With their "ranks" and the like I'd hope it was an RP group, but it's not. They really are that serious about their internet spaceships e-peen.

The whole thing reminds me of playing tree-house when I was 6 years old, and drawing up a charter of rules that made absolutely no sense, but were the best we could think of at the time.

No girls aloud.
