They don't have to do anything because you are breaking the rules here.

You don't need to be aware of the rules. You might not even care whether or not you're breaking them.

qbrass | karma 1529 | avg karma 1.17 · | 2017-11-19 12:29:49+00:00

So you didn't bother trying to bypass your own rules without breaking them?

It‘s not breaking the rules. You‘re breaking the rules.

Stop harassing people!

If they're not breaking the rules why report them?

Strictly speaking, you don't have to follow any rules.

You can be punished for breaking the rules after the fact, but that isn't the same as being obligated to obey them.

Not everything has to be done following the rules, sometimes the best things come out when you don't care about the rules.

You don't need posted guidelines to know that this behavior is wrong.

ReverseCold | karma 1830 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2017-03-12 05:05:47+00:00

Or disobey disobeying the rules and do whatever you want within the rules.

colechristensen | karma 26001 | avg karma 3.7 · | 2022-06-09 23:02:09

There are rules that allow breaking the rules when it’s actually needed, not when unsolicited help is being given despite requests to stop.

It's ridiculous that you can circumvent the rules that easily.

ALittleLight | karma 13088 | avg karma 3.97 · | 2020-02-09 05:29:35+00:00

How do they stop you from just ignoring their rules and doing it anyway?

steve_g | karma 802 | avg karma 3.87 · | 2020-05-03 00:41:25

But sometimes it's OK to break the rules.

wumbernang | karma 236 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2015-06-15 14:59:16+00:00

It's not about you following the rules. If someone else doesn't, your head is going to hit the ground.

majewsky | karma 15323 | avg karma 2.15 · | 2018-10-04 09:50:42+00:00

So because others sometimes violate the rules, it's okay for you to ignore the rules entirely? I'll leave it as an exercise to the readers to bring that principle to its absurd logical conclusions.

"I am not saying it is OK to circumvent rules."

Well, I am.

It is okay to break rules once in a while.

s73v3r | karma 1357 | avg karma 0.92 · | 2015-04-23 17:12:49+00:00

Because someone else breaking the rules is no excuse for you breaking the rules. It's like when you were a kid, and you tried to say, "But Johnny's doing it!".

dobbsbob | karma 1976 | avg karma 2.73 · | 2013-10-29 22:00:34+00:00

According to this article you don't follow those rules either

YurgenJurgensen | karma 1042 | avg karma 2.22 · | 2023-06-24 02:49:16

You weren't being asked to enforce a rule, you were being asked to determine if a rule has been violated.
