You could post it, but it *really* should be disqualifying...

If not, frankly I'll throw my hands up in the air. Because I spent several days to edit my story to actually follow the rules. Longer stories tend to be fuller ones, and would have automatic advantages to ones who didn't go over the word limit. And having people not follow the length twice in a row being the reason my story suffers, would be slightly infuriating.

I'd also be immediately a thousand times more critical in analysis. Like every single word *better* be 100% needed to work. And so rarely is that the case. I'd likely read it, go "I could make this under 2000 words" and have it work. And tear it to pieces, in the same way I've done my own to get it to fit.
