#34594, "RE: I can vouch for this."


          

The key difference is you're arguing the difference between being vague and being misleading.

"Broader language that emphasized the point of the rules more than the rules themselves" would suffice as well. The broad language used right now is "to prevent characters from being attached at the hip", which is not only vague but misleading.

The key term used to justify enforcement is one sentence in a separate help file that says "ask yourself if you are exploiting your connection to the other characters to gain an unfair advantage over another player". That's the whole of the entire rule but it's in a separate help file and vague enough that anything and everything can be considered cheating.

I mean, its not like anyone wants a thirty page directive. Just an honest rule that is enforced consistently that places less emphasis on trying to manage people's OOC behavior and more emphasis on managing the actual outcome in the game.
