Scott, actually believe it was the new crazy ruling that everything there had to be 3-rail O-gauge and only 3-rail O-Gauge.

Yes, this.
Only it's not really a "new ruling". It has always been in the TOS but the moderators are now enforcing it.
I can't read minds but at a guess the idea is to make it easier for the moderators to screen for copyrighted photos (by making sure all real train pics are in the "Albums" forum). If so I think it's a good strategy because it makes it easier for the publisher to protect himself AND still allows we posters to post pics of the prototype. That is what is called a win-win.
