"If you are aware of a member breaking the rules, you are obligated to report them to the staff, either via the Report System or by sending one of the staff a PM."
And mods kudo'd your post...
You will note that it doesn't say "if you think" or "if you believe".
The rule is intended to apply to people who are protecting people they know to be socks of banned users (as well as other things we may not have considered).
It wasn't intended to, and never has, applied to the circumstance you're talking about.
But please, keep going on as if your opinion was informed, or even mattered - because it isn't, and doesn't.
