I think it is the difference between in-game trust and out-of game trust. Whatever the in-game shenanigans, there needs to be an out-of-game trust regarding game mechanics, practicalities, real life etc. So that everyone can have a good and friendly (friendly IRL) game. Using the necessary out-of-game trust to advance in-game stuff - I think that there is an important line here. I don't think it was too bad by Athlete/Kalin (since they went over the line by misjudgement rather than intention, and were in general making every effort not to go over any line - basically just misjudged what and where exactly the line was). And it probably wasted a bit of Sunrise's time helping them with their "IT problems", particularly considering the effort that he is putting in to host the game for everyone.
I think it is a similar line which is crossed when in-game aggressive diplomacy turns into personal out-of-game aggression between players, but fortunately people have managed to hold back from this (despite some temptations).
