>> 1. No nudity: Entrecard, and its members blogs, are generally family friendly. Blogs with images containing nudity are not permitted. This includes nudity in advertisements.
+ I know it is because of children. But how can we identify that an image contains nudity.Do we consider a photo of a girl in bikiny contains nudity? How can we measure the nudity? This rule is not strict and make people confuse. The rule is depended on what moderator thinking. This should be more clear.
+ Another thing is nudity in advertisments. How can we know when ads show nudity?
>> 2.English only: Until we develop the infrastructure necessary to facilitate non-English
>> language blogs, English is the only language allowed in Entrecard.
It's OK
3. Minimum 5 posts: Blogs with no posts, or less than 5 quality posts written within the last 3 months, will be removed.
Remove spam blogs. I think it is ok.
4. Content must be original: Reproduced content does not provide the specific qualities we are looking for in the Entrecard network. This includes both sites that use legitimate reprintable content such as “free articles”, abstracts and public domain content as well as illegitimate, illegal content such as stolen content or scraped feeds. Duplicate content, such as posts that appear on two or more blogs belonging to the same person is also unacceptable.
It is difficult to find out if your posts is original. Because not all knowledge is ours. We have to reference to other sources in order to write a good post. So i think this rule is very strict. We only need to show where the sources come from.
4. No full-screen ads or popups: Blogs that include full-screen ads or popups will be removed. This includes any popup window that appears when the site has finished loading or when clicking to view an article. It is OK for links to display a popup window if the user clicks a link, e.g. FeedBurner email subscription, but popup ads or forceful messages asking people to subscribe without clicking anything are intrusive and therefore not allowed.
I also do not like popup. But prohibit full-screen ads is bad. Entrecard site do not provide the quality traffic. And publisher can not earn from entrecard traffic. I see that many people block ads and therefore no money from banner or texts ads. Full-screen ads will be the suitable ads in this case.
5.No illegal file downloads: Blogs that link to illegally shared files, such as music, movies or software, will be removed. By “illegal” we mean content that you do not have the right to distribute. Linking to free, legal music and software is permitted.
It's ok
6.Entrecard widget must be present: Including the widget on your site is a requirement if you wish to participate in Entrecard.
It's ok
7. No redirects: Sites that use a redirect (such as tinyurl links) as the URL on their account will be deleted.
It's ok
8. No duplicate accounts: If you have more than one account for the same blog, the duplicate account will be deleted.
It's ok
URLs must be valid: Sites with URLs that do not work or are wrongly typed will be deleted.
No autoplaying audio: This includes music that plays automatically when you visit the page, or short audio ads that come up unannounced.
Content must be recent: Sites that have not been updated in 3 months will be removed.
It's ok

It's true. All knowledge is shared so it's tough to really "say" that the content is "original". And like you said, a good post requires reading up on a number of different sources to make a solid claim.
Hey SEO, I just wanted to stop in and say THANKS for being in my Top Ten Droppers. I have posted some linky love today for all of my droppers and wanted to say thanks for dropping by.
Tisha
I am glad they block those full screen ads...I detest them!
bt then I make money from my Entrecard traffic anyway on today.com
I think that Entrecard rules are generally OK. Having said that there is a lot of duplicate content out there on blogs, but I have not heard of them being penalized by Entrecard.
