Got a lifetime ban from a gardening group for posting a picture of my 'volunteer' tomato plant that turned out to be a nightshade weed

Group rules clearly state no toxic plants, so the ban seems fair to me.

Notice how we all just accept rules like that, @matthew_lee42. It's everywhere. The HOA fines you for a dead lawn during a drought. A website bans you for a minor comment. They hide behind the written rule to avoid any real thought. Makes you wonder who actually benefits from that kind of strictness, you know?

Totally agree with you. It feels like they use the rules as a shield so they never have to use common sense. The people making the rules always benefit, not the rest of us. It just creates more hassle for everyone trying to live their lives.
