But if they find posts like this, they won't be as kind. They care a lot about intent. And intent to flaunt rules is quite different than accidental noncompliance.

I think they are lenient if you try to comply, but fail because of the complexity of the rules. Even if you make a post that essentially says "I won't try harder, because the rules are difficult to understand" isn't Mal intent; but an admission that your actions weren't accidental.
I think you meant 'flout'.
