It's not new, it's IIRC carried over from the current structure. It was one
of my worse ideas, and oh boy do I have a lot of bad ideas. Basically I was
trying to make non-players who do player-like things punishable. It was a
mess, and we got rid of it, but this bit remained. I agree it should be
removed.

What's the difference between "a person who plays the game" and 
"player"? Is there a reason you chose that verbiage?

Also I don't think it hurts to include it but I also don't think "but 
subject to the provisions of this rule" is necessary.

I had a bit of trouble parsing the part after the semicolon (maybe due
to "and ... and ... or" without bracketing). Also your phrasing doesn't
require the Pointer to point out how the perp committed the crime (in
the case of a rule they have to include "an alleged violation"). How
about

  ...the announcement has to explicitly name the perp, cite a
  specific rule or named crime, and specify an alleged violation of
  that rule or commission of that crime by that person.
