Why does it say "Celeb Should be Under 80 Years Old?"

At the top of the Feedback forum, under Forum rules it says "(celeb should be under 80 years old 8) ).
Why does it say this? There are plenty of good signers who are over 80 years old, such as Lee MacPhail and Bobby Doerr. Just curious.

I think this is in the wrong forum, so I would appreciate if someone could move it! :mrgreen:

Maybe that's new, I've never seen it before. Wierd, let's start a petition to have it removed! {up}

Any rule that eliminates Betty White is just WRONG!!!

Yeah, that rule is ridiculous. Betty White still happily signs autographs and she's over 80 :neutral:

I just noticed this odd rule too. I don't think that is fair either. I have a few LOR floating around that go with people over 80 years old and would love to share any success I get.
