Alex recently approved a run that was played on emulator. Have rules changed?

Upon submitting a run, the site tells you that emulator is banned for this game. Yes of course I read the comment, that's how I knew it was on emulator. Why is this an exception though?

Slower or not, emulator is banned for a different reason. That reason is that Dolphin does not emulate the game properly. It is not accurate to console. I'd like a response from Alex.

Emulators are not unbanned. Approving Monkey's run on emulator was a mistake. Monkey's current time on the leaderboards was done on console.
