I don't know why people do it....

Why on earth would you think it's okay to post in a community saying "I know I'm breaking the rules, but..." for anything short of a national emergency?

I mean, hello? Are you *begging* to get banned? Because, aside from being against the rules, that's just rude.

Well... it's like this... these people think that they are so cute/special/the centre of the freaking universe and thus rules don't really apply to them if they pout/bat their eyelashes/or introduce their posts with faux-polite intros like "I know I'm breaking the rules but..."

You think so?

Yes.

That's how I interpret (the motivation behind) such things, anyway -- "Yes, I know, but I'm special so the rules don't apply to me / I'm cute so you'll do whatever I ask even if it's against the rules / similar".
