People hate SA because they're shocked that a forum would dare to both ask a trivial entry fee but then require the noob to both understand and follow the rules of the site.

I mean WTF? Rules? FREEDOM OF SPEECH SHITCOCK LOLI BABYFUCKER CHIYO-CHAN PORN

The most offensive part is that the rules essentially boil down to "don't be a jerk and you won't get banned" and that's a really hard rule to follow for the average jerk.
