Quite the opposite -
5. DO NOT post a picture with the watermark edited out in order to circumvent rule #4.

Never assume. Unless the reason for removal is given look to the Rules for guidance.
6. DO NOT post or request any copyrighted material without the consent of the owner.
Any and all copyrighted pictures posted without the owners permission may be removed. Identification and removal may depend upon a complaint being raised. If such a complaint is raised it is correct for removal to occur. Seeking to disguise a copyright picture so that such a complaint is likely to be avoided just adds a level of deceit to the copyright infringement.

Not complex at all. Copyright automatically exists upon creation of the image and remains unless relinquished or limited by the owner. That is no different to a book or a song (which is also available at a single click on the web). You may be unaware of the copyright status of many images sourced on the web but beneath each Flickr image you altered and posted was clearly printed
