Why are the rules for the APA called the Ten Commandments?
Apocalypse is a very Biblical theme, and in keeping with that, we have named our eight rules “Commandments”. They are loosely written rules that, hopefully, give the members a guideline as to what is permissible in our APA. We try to keep the number of rules down, and display them prominently each issue, to make it easier for everyone. Like the Ten Commandments that are suppose to guide the life and activity of Christians, our “Commandments” are suppose to guide our members activity in this APA. They may sound strong, but – in truth they are guidelines. We ask that, should you become a member, you try to stay within these guidelines. They were designed so that it is difficult for a member to harm or insult another member without braking one of the commandments. The Commandments also cover minimum activity and taxes (also known as membership dues).
