Does the forum support temporarily locking these threads just for Level 2s? I don't think I've seen a KP thread yet where the request has not been ignored.

I as a judge am always genuinely confused about this. What if Ann played 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 20 gpts. At what point do we consider her to know the rulings. She plays in a competitive event, she should know the rules. This is very contradictory to a lot of players as they use it in their advantage against judges.
I genuinely feel and believe in this scenario Ann is considered cleared of cheating. But I know a lot of players in my game community, that I even know personal for quite some time, that would use this excuse to a judge (even me): “Oh sorry I didn't know that”, simply to get away from the cheating. And quite frankly, it sucks as a judge to “believe them” as I can't proof as a judge that “they don't know something”
I am all for “judges need to help where possible and aid newer players”, but the point is that at certain points we also should say to players: “look this is homework for you guys if you want to play GPTs”. The problem is with newer players playing in Competitive events is that they -unfortunately- sometimes set examples that should be covered with the “mantle of grace” unfortunately setting patterns that other players use to their advantage.
Sorry if this derails a bit the original topic of this KP, but I wanted to chip this in.
A person breaks a rule defined by the tournament documents, lies to a tournament official, or notices an offense committed in his or her (or a teammate's) match and does not call attention to it.
Additionally, the offense must meet the following criteria for it to be considered Cheating:
• The player must be attempting to gain advantage from his or her action.
• The player must be aware that he or she is doing something illegal.
