How can you complain about being held to the terms of a contract that you agreed to but apparently never bothered to read? If you find terms of an agreement "so vague as to be useless" wouldn't you want to clarify the vagueness before consenting to do business?

Now back to the Nazis, Communist plots, and the evil corporate empire...
The content guidelines are that vague I don't think it would make any difference if they did read them first. Most of them are more relevant to video than fiction.
