They've always been allowed as long as you tread that inconsistent wavy line the rules are unable to narrow down definitively. The mod team are there to try and ensure a healthy forum that encourages debate, unfortunately the price you pay for quality is censorship. If you write a risky thread then you generally know what your doing, if it gets you modded then its often justifiable. Sure the consistency isn't perfect but the mods are only human, they don't all share the same opinion and every user and post is unique making any judgement call tough to meet the same as a earlier precedent if the mod wasn't involved.
