if you wanted to act as a planet solely dedicated to defend a particular group of people , while not belonging to their tag - should you be allowed to?
no
the simple fact is - allowing it invites abuse.
its a sad fact that people will do *anything* to win regardless of the consequences. Archangelx hit the nail on the head perfectly : if all people playing had a shred of backbone, decency, integrity and honour then there would be no need for such rules.
Sadly there are always some for whom such words mean nothing - and the "win at all costs, if they havent explicitly banned it , its allowed despite being extremely dodgy" mantra has taken hold deeply - and they are likely to continue in such a manner. Therefore such rules will always be created as a result of their actions.
Blame them - not pateam for having to respond to them

This is just cutting off your nose to spite your face, though.
There is no point in having a rule designed to prevent cheats if the game doesn't work as it should. And the game clearly doesn't with any SPR (new acronym for Support Planets Rule), I don't need to repeat JBG's posts because they quote first principles on how the game should be played.
The fact is cheats have been caught in the past and there is the simple fact that if people think you are cheating, they don't want you to win. It's why, in my view, we can get away with basic rules for cheating.
The primary concern is whether the game actually works rather than anything being 'fair'.
