I'll slot in my two cents, hope no one minds.
I would not use Discord as a source of any reliable information period, even if it comes from an admin. It's not a platform for coherent, measured discussion, nor is it the place for hosting the rules - it's a gated live chat, and real people with fresh emotions type whatever there, regardless of their rank. It all gets drowned in the noise in the end, nuance lost if ever present.
But yeah, now that there is a forum thread on the topic - Cog draws one line, Katze in the neighboring thread puts a different spin on it and then there is Jan's post that sparked this discussion in the first place. I saw plenty of situations that would benefit from a firm reference point. Not everything fits into the rules, but most things wont ever get ahelped for a manual review either.
