Taips pointed out that it's not a rule, but a guideline.

I'm in the go for it camp. Likely happens more often than we realize. I don't see how it's a grey area. It's like deciding to go and watch a game for yourself, and discovering a player who has potential and you make an offer. He was, in essence, scouted.

And not everyone in here uses English as their first language, and therefore wouldn't know. And how would you know it's a shocker, has he even posted since you've joined?

Ease up old boy. Are you trying to tell me newbies and non english as first language people would understand every post made by long term regulars? I know you're trying to protect the place but I'm not trying to twist into something that it's not meant to be...
