There's no discrepancy...there's now an exception...
Under the rule as written, Blowpop and theCFE were both guilty of a violation...under the new exception, Blowpop isn't guilty of a violation, but theCFE still is...
I'm never in favor of arbitrary exceptions to the rules...especially when they allow leniency for for one side and punish the other...but now that they've done it, they better change the forum guideline quick...

I understand the first exception, because it's logical to me. The second one, I admit, does leave me confounded.
