It's not a stupid rule, is a necessary one. The point of the rule is to stop minors from being posted, and the account of the person doesn't need to be active, they just need to be verified. It's probably annoying the first time since it takes time for OF to approve, but after that it makes no difference, the account can be completely anonymous to the rest of the public as well, so i rly don't see a problem.
The reason I don't get bonus cake is because the really good shit isn't even there. The difference between bonus cake and the tier beneath it is like... 1 or 2 extra pictures per set. Usually extra pussy pics, but even the tier beneath has some pussy pics.
