There seems to be a lot of confusion... so I'm going to attempt to contribute without adding fuel to the fire.
Let's just say many people seem to be confusing "rules" with "courtesy" or "expectation" or "tradition" or any other word we can bust out of the thesaurus.
Here's my recommendation on what you want to remember (take it or leave it) - at the end of the day, if it comes down to involving the GM staff it also means involving their perspective, personal attitude/feeling toward the situation. We can shade in any number of grey areas and contestable points.
Summary: Try not to be a dickhead, but also don't be a doormat.
