Rule Zero
Ponies. On the internet, that single word can cause huge shitstorms.
That's why, for about six months, the Rules button on our home page contained the line "Rule #0: We do not talk about My Little Pony!". Due to uncertainty clouding whether this rule is serious or not and how it should be enforced, if at all, I have clarified it to this:
Rules Appendix 1:
* Do not talk about ponies in the main #arcatorirc channel and preferably the in-game console. This is to protect the sanity of both bronies and non-bronies alike. Instead, use the provided #ponies channel and the warp Canterlot to talk about friendship being magic, build your favourite ponies, and all that.
Enforcement:
Admins and Mods - please provide polite reminders of this rule, but if trolling or ignoring of this rule occurs, punishments including kicks, mutes, and 12 hour bans may be administered. Any attempt to change this rule or edit this post will be dealt with as a serious matter - I'm looking at you, Josh.

Its only a big deal if you make it one.
Before it was like...
At least the rule is slightly more fair now.

Arcator isn't a democracy. It's a benevolent dictatorship.
What, like Islamic communism?
More like how Linus Torvalds is generally accepted as having the right to make big decisions regarding the Linux kernel.
Technically, anyone can fork (fuck?) the Linux kernel and call it Fugpoo Kernel version 0.01.
Not a brony myself, but I don't care about ponies as long as you're not rubbing in my face the fact you watch My Little Pony.

Exactly. In the same way that I wouldn't care if you watched scat porn (...actually, I would care. You might not want to google exactly what that is, by the way).

You depraved wart, you.

I like the way I worded it better:
Please keep pony-talk to a minimum. If you would like to have an in-depth conversation about it, please bring it to a private chat.
I never supported building ponies all over the server, but this seemed to be a problem with many of the users, so I said "It's recommended that you build ponies at /warp ponies", but you apparently agree with me...
