This is wrong, they are two completely different things.
A guideline is a suggestion, how someone is expected to act rather than how they have to act, i.e., it is preferred that you read a topic before posting in it, but you don't have to.
A rule is doctrine, a necessity of action in accordance to a certain situation, i.e., flaming is against the rules, if you do it, you are punished.
Sorry, that just bugged me.

On topic, I believe that opening up our system to the benefits from other forums is a plus for all involved, learning about how they work can help us to work more efficiently. If Impossible can provide us with an alternate viewpoint I say go for it. After all, that's the point of a forum, to hear the views of others in regards to our own interests, in this case, theorizing.
