Nope, even in the comic forum, unless it's in the rules thread it's just their views.

Until then, it is not a rule. It's just their opinion, their view. Much like Gala's view that all of DC is canon, or that there is only one Mxy. Much like -Pr-'s view that carver is an idiot and a troll, or that Superman has dynamic strength and speed - if all these posts that they've made are truly 'forum tules' just because a mod said them, most 'debates' would have been killed off on page 1.
We disagree on that issue. Leaving the battlefield to seek outside help is generally a matter of common sense. No one argues that for a reason. However, this is not a viable option due to the other five issues, rendering the argument that 'anything goes if there's no official rule against it' moot.

Having said that I don't buy for a second that characters can't use their main abilities to win a fight, just because it might mean leaving the battlefield for a second. I mean going by this Nightcrawler or Azazel can't drop people from the sky (like Azazel kept doing in First Class). Or Flash can't run around the world in a few seconds to do super punch like he did to Luthor-Braniac in JLU.
The argument isn't about leaving the battlefield.
It's about leaving the battlefield to specifically receive outside help from another.
Rules are irrelevant in that case, as it is a matter of common sense.
