The house makes the rules.
the house always wins.

The house does nothing of true benefit for customers.

Their fear exist that all these margin buys on the internet stocks will leave a number of the owners of borrowed stocks hanging.

For those that never stop to think about percentages. While you double them on gains at 50% margin, you also double your losses. If the increased margins by some cause problems, think about some real down days.

BTW: explain the 30% margin, I have never seen that from my broker. only 50% or higher. I think any "good" broker should have a list for customers, on net and updated. Not all stocks can be margined, depends on availbility and etc. This also differs by house.
