No. If the game dev agrees this particular collecting mechanism (a discord server) is worthwhile then they've granted an exception. This overrides the "not suitable" aspect by virtue of that granted exception. Cheating communities can still be shut down even with one community having the exception. "Fairness and equal ability to apply an exception to a rule" is not a valid defence in this circumstance. It would be like saying that police aren't allowed to speed when they have their lights flashing. No. The exception has been granted. You can't use the police's exception when you speed because you aren't operating with that granted privilege.
