The DISCHARGE clause seems to apply when players exceed the number of ergs they have because they do not know how many they have, which is reasonable given that the PSM's report is only published once per week at the most. The clause is probably not supposed to apply to other ignorance of the rules, an which committed in different ways would result in punishments.
