To be honest, the rule is that hotlinking is not allowed - I don't care if it's hotlinked from a sponsor or another domain that you own. We don't allow any.

Why not consider accepting this? Times change, our linklist rules can bend. Hotlinking a sponsor's banner ad shouldn't be a problem if the sponsor agrees to it. Hotlinking clips from hosted galleries is another thing entirely and should never be accepted.

Just seems like things should be looked at on a case by case basis.

Sure - how about I send all of those instances to you so that you can double check that the submitter owns the domain it's being hotlinked from or that the sponsor does allow the content to be hotlinked or that the sponsor owns the domain.....yeah, let's add 10-15 min to the review time for each submit

Of course, this might be on my list of things I might change for some people that I might like, but for now, it's against my rules.
