'Hey the word Trump isn't allowed, but I can see you were using the word 'trump card' and not talking about Donald Trump so I'll use my brain and allow it"

"Hey I can see this detailed and informative reply is only 49/50 words long. I understand the word limit is intended to create discussion, not limit it so I'll use my brain and allow it."

"We don't allow accounts with a low karma amount to post, because it could be indicative of a spam/bot account but I can see your comment isn't either of those so I'll use my brain and allow it.

I can easily imagine automated systems that carved out the usage of "Trump card" as an expression as an exception to a block on a "Trump" rule.

“We don’t allow accounts with a low karma amount to post, because it could be indicative of a spam/bot account but I can see your comment isn’t either of those so I’ll use my brain and allow it.

This one is onerous demands to large traffic communities in the event they feel they need to filter out new accounts.

I love your examples that highlight how you want special treatment instead of following very simple rules.

I want the spirit of the law, you seem to want the letter of the law.

Following rules to the letter is far less important than achieving the desired goal of the rule. In fact it's often downright detrimental.

Yes but with the law you can't usually simply resubmit a post and move on sans-whining.
