I think that if it was done without proper knowledge of the rules, it might be a bit because of the way the rules are spread out at the moment. I think it would be good if they'd be revised and put into fewer stickied posts.
Although after seeing how many grievances there have been on this subject, I don't think it was done accidentally. Thinking you won't get caught, seems even more amazing to me, since we have an awesome computer-bloodhound among us *coughs* orth *coughs*.
