I want my day mildly ruined, not completely ruined.

MODERATORS
I know a lot of subreddits like that have rules that you have to be part of the profession to post. Reason being that they don't want amateurs/etc to fill up the community with posts asking for advice, but instead want it to be a place for people in the profession to be able to talk to other professionals.
I can fully understand that approach, and how following that rule would directly lead to posts like this getting locked. At the same time, this is an interesting post and seems like it would have interesting discussion.
So basically this post probably breaks the written rules of the community, but is the kind of content that they wanted the rules to encourage. If it was my community I'd let the post stay (maybe with a mod comment on why it was allowed to stay up), but it's always risky to enforce the written rules inconsistently. I've seen a lot of communities get upset about inconsistent mods.
