either we go by the book or we dont. if we're going to cherry pick when we do and when we dont, can we really be surprised if someone calls foul?
like i said with the agent ruling, clarify this in the rule itself going forward. then there wont be any need to have discussions about precedent. the outcome will be codified. *shrug*
Rules will always have grey areas and subjectivity. That's why we put head office members in place to interpret those rules and handle judgements and punishments appropriately. If we try to remove all grey areas and make all rules completely black and white we'll get situations like the Vandals tampering charges in PBE.
