There is no specific list of things you can and cannot do. The TOS says you cannot:
a) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libellous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
It seems the big issue is crapping on threads, ie. harassing, outside of the backlot. The backlot forum has a rather bumpy start and isn't a favorite of any of the admins or moderators. Some of it comes down to the moderators filtering stuff out but it also requires that those who use the backlot do some self-policing.
The perception is that BL "bastards" are using the backlot forum to plan and organize activities which are disruptive or detrimental to the site as a whole. Threads such as the one discussed reinforce that perception.

Side note, I also read all 11 pages of that thread this morning, was a great waste of time... but it should have been closed ages ago. The scammer in question was banned. End of story.

This is like 99% of Muslims are peaceful. One extremist comes along and blows up the world trade center and now everyone hates Muslims. Way to perpetuate the cycle dude.

I understand, but really, no one is organizing anything. I saw the_s2k_dude's thread asking us to go be stupid and I didn't. I'm pretty sure that literally everyone who is currently in this thread discussing the Back Lot felt the same way, because I didn't see any of their names in that SoCal thread.

Not only did we not crap on that thread, but I made a post to the OP regarding editing his thread per misinformation.
