I think you would have to talk to the parties involved to know for sure. I am asking is that situation any different? I am not saying it is the same thing, but if it is brought to your attention and it is clearly a violation of the rules, then why does it matter? I know this is partly philosophical, just asking should it matter how they noticed a rule was violated?
