Pretty big leap to go from “no” to a lockout question to “ well they said no so clearly all server rules are thrown out.”
There's a difference between "throw out all server rules, ever" and "rules specific to an encounter might not apply in this narrow circumstance". A rational person might look at a case where something is declared exceptional in a way and think "hmmm.. this seems like an exceptional situation; maybe it's exceptional in other ways, too". Since A does not apply, it raises the very real possibility that B and C might not either.

I'm not advocating any leaps. To the contrary, I'm suggesting that you firmly establish that what you believe to be correct is actually correct before you begin pointing fingers.

Which if that’s the case, then maybe the training if there was any, would of been fair game. Or is that too big of a leap too??
I would say so considering the trainer got banned on the spot.

Always gotta leave reasonable doubt, that debate 101.

But my point if I was to make any, is something you did as well, you take an answer to one question and assume other pieces.
Raising the possibility that you might be wrong in your conclusions is not an assumption.

Cameras all pointed at Yelinak's lair in one of the largest events that can occur on a P99 server. ST's comms were being streamed. A GM delivered a very quick response. I think it's safe to say the standard of proof has been exceeded in this case.

Maybe? At the end of the day, we aren’t GMs, so this is just a bunch of words you and I have wasted. No matter if we come to an agreement on this subject or agree to disagree none of it matters, what will be conceded the next sleeper event yeli trigger? El oh el.

But my point if I was to make any, is something you did as well, you take an answer to one question and assume other pieces. In your example “since A doesn’t apply, there is a real (possibility) that B and C doesn’t either.” Take that possibility out and get that confirmation and you’ll see things go a lot smoother in the end.
