[Solved] Is this propclimb or not?

[Marty]

See I had this out with admins and SA's in the past when I was nearly punished for propclimb and none could give me a straight answer. Essentially I was a robber/raider with decent enough background RP and I was using the aluminium ladder prop with one of these cogs invisible. The ladder was just for show and the cog prop was so I could walk up and according to the staff at the time that was considered prop climbing so I am surprised that this isnt. Interesting though brings a full new dynamic to raiding.
