Confirming that someone isn't breaking the rules isn't harassment - it
doesn't affect the user at all (unless they actually are breaking the
rules, in which case them being a valued contributor isn't a good
excuse).

You seem to be proposing some kind of "See no evil, hear no evil,
speak no evil" policy in order to avoid having to do something about
valued contributors who violate policy.
