Tsk.  What's the fundamental difference between prohibiting an action through the rules and attaching penalties to the same thing?  Either one is going to have a limiting effect on the action.

"Uses non-public-forum communication as an input device to adjust players' scores."  Isn't that like saying speed limits use cars as an input device to collect additional taxes?  Or a mugger uses a pistol as a form of expression to persuade more equitable distribution of wealth.

Again, I say tsk.
