Unbrella's view is his own.
It's not cheating unless it's ruled as cheating by the rule makers is what most individuals at the high end follow.
Once a ruling comes down most everyone follows that ruling. A problem with a lot of our rules as I stated over and over is they are vague. Another problem also happens to be that they aren't all stated together.
For example, I know that this server has a 2 player near a mob as trackers rule. In the raid rules the only mention of this is about tracker FTE not about a limit of players nearby a mob when it spawns. Of course we follow this rule because we know it's a rule. However I could certainly see a new guild glossing over the 2 trackers aspect instead focusing on the "you may not get FTE with trackers" intent of that rule.
Another example would be some specific zone rules. Like Venril Sathir is not allowed to be pulled out of his area because KC is one of the most popular dungeons and there are always 2-3 full groups going at all times that get wrecked nearly immediately by a train leaving no time to move or relocate during a guilds pull. Yet that's not stated anywhere specifically. In fact I don't even think I was raiding when that ruling came down.
Citing Amelinda as banning the Eye thing is yet another example of this. I don't doubt chest but pointing out that a Guide RMT banned several years ago banned a certain practice is fine, but how is everyone supposed to be aware of this, especially newer people to the raid scene or server in general.
The Skype thing I think is the absolute most nerdy approach possible, but I can't think of any way this could be moderated by the staff.
