I'm certain the GMs are aware that with strict measures, you will occasionally get your conclusion wrong. They continue it as a 'greater good' situation and I can't fault that. Just, be careful. I didn't know the extent at which I would need to camp, etc., originally. I just trying to relay some of what I've learned so others don't have an unfortunate experience.
If you read the many stories and examples from people on the dozens of virtually same threads about this same topic, you'll note that the VAST majority of people who play together with their friends, PL their friends, play in the same house, etc, do so with no problems whatsoever. They are doing what they legitimately claim to be doing. If a GM expects them of violating rules, they run a test. The VAST majority of them are able to flawlessly pass, because they were legitimately not boxing.

There's no 'hide yo wife, hide yo kids' kind of warning necessary. If you want to play with someone, BE THERE. Don't try and skirt the rules, don't be shady, don't do things that would lead others or the GM's to think you're boxing. If you want to "cook" or "watch TV" or otherwise "leave the room" while you are ACTUALLY THERE, simply camp out.

You may not agree with the rules, or think you're following them, but your actions admittedly warrant potential suspicion, especially considering you claimed to have been tested for similar actions in the past.

TLDR - BE THERE, ACTUALLY PLAY, STOP LEAVING AND DOING OTHER STUFF. IF YOU MUST, CAMP OUT. DON'T BE SHADY.
