To clarify, the forum rules simply prevent the forum from being an issue when it comes to image issues with the Kodi brand (along with support burden, possible real legal issues, things that are annoying, etc). There's no way for those rules to do anything beyond the forum (and any other site directly under the Kodi project's control, such as the wiki, etc).
For that matter, there really is nothing that can be said here that will have a significant impact on the brand/image/trademark issues on the larger internet. At best, the forum doesn't add to the problem. Maybe there's a bonus in some awareness to part of the community, but that's a somewhat minor bonus.
So like I said, I wouldn't worry about making hardline rules about what box/brand one can even mention. It's ineffective and prevents people from at least saying who should be avoided. Keeping track of who is using clean builds, or an automatic assumption of guilt, is not practical.
