Flicking through the front page and around half of all posts have the world "rule" in the title. What's that about?

The 196 community has a rule saying you have to post something - anything - if you visit them. So folks post something to fulfill that rule, and over time it evolved from "here's my random post because of the rule" or something into just tiling it "rule".
