I would not consider a 2014 post from Derubael on this subject to be binding.

Are we to believe every inconsistent and once-off forum post made by former staff represents a standing rule on the server? I fundamentally and vehemently disagree with such a notion. |
You can disagree with whatever amount of passion you want. You can discount Derubael's explicit statement that the rules are "Pretty clear-cut, and these exact rules have been around in one form or another for quite some time" because it's 6 years-old, but in jurisprudence laws and precedent continue to apply without an expiration date. You can also discount his statement because of his "former" status, but personally I would take the advice of a long-time retired jurist over that of someone just appointed to the bench. Your implication that he no longer knows what he's talking about or that the rules suddenly and radically changed after his departure departs from reasonable expectations and places the onus on you to produce facts in evidence as to why his word no longer matters.
Perhaps you should test your theory in practice by claiming a camp and refusing to name the next camper.
