I'm not asking you to bend the rules, as if the rules are a bar of iron and i'm asking you to bend that. What i've asked you is to use your brain, your thought process and become aware that the only rules that exist are the rules or the laws of physics. What other rules we invented and created, are rules or ideologies to be used for guidance and to support a concept of a greater good; which in this case was promotion and support of quality posts of a minnow.

Let me ask you something, how many times you didn't follow a law or regulation, you didn't obeyed by it or just simply bend it, because you thought is not fair, or you thought that that restriction simply limits something you thought it shouldn't be limited at all? Or just took a shortcut because you thought the greater good was worth it ?

What i'm sure about, is that we're all people. There is right and wrong, and for that we have policies in place, to protect the right from wrong. But nothing is perfect, and will be many times when the policies would do harm rather than help. That's when one has to use common sense and realise the difference between standing for what's right and enforcing a law just because they have control to do it, and as @readallaboutit said: power corrupts - and that's when it harms the most .
