Actually, this was one of the earlier rules that we left as/is. It's good to see that you took the time to read all of them and not just the obvious changes.

The discussion of sgian dubhs is not forbidden. We have no problem with discussion of historic weaponry - sgian dubhs, claymores, etc. We recognize that we have many re-enactors on this forum and we don't want to stop discussion among these members.

We do have a problem with images of sporrans holding firearms or discussion about the merits of this firearm as opposed to that, for a couple of examples.

As for some of the other, mentioned topics, I think they are pretty much self-explanatory. All are issues that have been worn thin through ongoing discussions that typically end up going OTT.
