Should we start to look at the UNOFFICIAL rules...
Why do many people consider the rules unofficial? Only the list is unofficial, but the rules are quite official.
Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
Fair enough but then
"NOTE: This is meant to serve as a reference/educational/informational thread, NOT a rock solid list of rules."
So we can say the rules are a guide not thrashed out in such detail they can be black and white and held to in a robotic/automated manner.
These allow for human intervention.
But you have made a point here which I see is correct.
Clearly break or be in contempt of these rules and you will find they are official.
I feel some are deliberately broad to allow for scope for sensible decision and allow for context.
