Let’s also remember for what purpose this rule was created: to prevent two specific posters (gothzilla and derkaiserreich) from fabulous personging up stickies hourly with really long, incredibly annoying spam. Gigerth wasn’t spamming.

This. Also this only shows what happens if you don’t use common sense along some general guidelines but stick to unflexible rules. That’s the way to tyranny! Free was and gigerth!

But seriously, I understand why the mods prefer precise rules, they have to justify every damn decision they make and that’s difficult if you can’t refer to rules but the specific rule in this case just doesn’t make sense or to be more precise it wasn’t well-defined.
