Not only is this ad hominem (calling a person "too stupid to look up the moderators" is not relevant to whether the research they did is valuable, the two are independent and you're addressing (incorrectly perceived) personal characteristics rather than flaws in an argument) but also, friend, you're telling on yourself. Spam is a legitimate concern in this and every online community. Nicole is a known spambot. You spammed your own community as a moderator. Apparently as a joke that most people seem to have gotten. Your response is basically [I'm the mod here, I can do whatever the fuck I want]. And no, you can't. Contrary to what you might think, this isn't your community. You are just currently (actually, looking at the mod list for this community that seems to be formerly) one of the people responsible for facilitating the dialogue this community is, in principle at least, trying to foster.

A joke is one thing, but coming out of the gate hot like this calling people "stupid insipid cows" because they reported nicole spam is... unempathetic and tends to suggest a power trip. In other words, "Be nice :)" applies to you, too.

If the rules are "You gotta pay for the book" and they don't pay for the book, they broke the rules, that's what I consider cheating. I don't necessarily agree with the rule, I disagree with cheating. This is, of course, relative, as truth and morality in general are.

"How are we supposed to win the race if we can't cheat?!"

They said this about the rise of fission, electricity, steam power, computers. The extra production was either captured by capitalists, or simply didnt materialze. What's different this time?

No, if you want to see that era of global prosperity, you need to address a lot of deep, fundamental issues that humanity has trouble even acknowledging let alone actually acting toward fixing. edit: Though, stopping fascism would be a necessary first step.
