Uggghhh, no fucking exceptions, don't bureaucrat shit up. That's what the Hilarity Clause is for.
It frustrates me to no end that the people who want to nitpick and "clarify" the rules the most, are often the people who don't even read them.
Quote:Hilarity Clause
Oft cited but seldom used these days. The Hilarity Clause basically goes that if you make a transgression against the rules but do so in a manner which is sufficiently entertaining or funny, you'll receive no punishment for your actions. Bear in mind that "funny" is entirely relative and it is purely up to the admins to decide if you were funny enough or not - also bear in mind that we've seen many things a lot of times before. If you're going to shoot for this rule, be original. Copycatting someone else's shtick won't end well for you.
