The difference, Andrew, is that they are still trading.
There is a difference between breaking the rules
and
doing things that the community frowns on, but are still within the server rules.
So far, no one has actually defined Powertrading, AND it's a generic phrase.
The suggestion is not to exclude them from the rules. It is to inform the people who they come into contact with, to not expect too much.
It's like a "Do Not Disturb" sign. Except it's more of a "I can't/won't RP" sign. When you come across these people, then you don't have to expect much. You can choose to ignore them if you know what type they are, instead of trying so very hard, that we Discoites do, to involve them in some RP, getting disappointed, then reporting them. OR you can choose to continue to try to RP with them, and see if anything happens.
Although this was a semi joking idea, I really do think it'll work.
Again, this suggestion is not to exclude the Powertraders from the server rules, but it informs the 'other people' what their intent is.
The phrase itself is insulting, ambigious and doesn't actually mean anything. It's a catch phrase that has no meaning. An ID, such as this, probably differently named, gives meaning to the silence. It removes ambiguity. It tells you not to expect too much from this encounter.
THAT is a good thing.
