Well, that sucks. Good point that no matter what the rules are, people can simply break them. The more you think about the details of the rules, the easier you forget that the rules do not become physical law.
Though I’d expect social consequences for breaking such rules to be quite severe. Which again, deters some kinds of people more, and some of them less.
As a semi-outsider, rationalists seem remarkably unlikely to altruistically punish each other for this sort of casual betrayal. (This is a significant part of why I’ve chosen to remain a semi-outsider by only participating online.)
