The CoE Netrep only ruled that "placing" an ITEM is different from playing an item.
The summary of CoE Rulings by the URD Editor is overly generalized and is misleading with respect to placement of corruption cards, which is considered to be the same as "playing" a corruption card, such that a corruption card may not be placed on a character on which a corruption card was already played that same turn (See ICE FAW below).URD - Glossary - Playing a card wrote:Placing a card is not the same as playing it [CoE 52].

I agree that placing an item is different from playing an item. But this doesn't apply to corruption cards:CoE 52 wrote:And a couple rulings that were brought up while the NetRep team was discussing Phial of Galadriel:
*** Unless specified otherwise on the card, in the rules or in the CRF, a special item follows the normal rules for playing items (i.e. playabe in the site phase only, tap character, tap site).
*** Both Gems of Arda and Mithril tap the site (haven) when their special 'play an item when storing' effect is used and thus need an untapped site to use this effect. This is just like the way Hour of Need taps the site when the faction is played. Note that cards with similar effects that say "place with" (Reforging, The Forge-master, etc.) instead of "play" do not tap the site or bearer, because placing an item with character is not the same as playing.
ICE FAQ wrote:Q: If a character already has had a corruption card played on him during his turn, and he is wounded by a Nazgul bearing Morgul-knife or the Pale Sword, are they eligible to receive one of these corruption cards also? The rules state that a maximum of one corruption card may be played on a character per turn.
A: The character may not be assigned the Pale Sword or Morgul-knife as corruption cards in this situation. These two Nazgul enhancers should be amended to say that playing them as corruption cards is optional.
