That's why admins tend to leave the border area grey and leave it to a mix of

• common sense
• godly (sic) decisions

I agree; and I don't think the language in the OP goes to that level of precision; not even close. But we want to have something written down so that when we do have to take action, we have something we can refer to. And I feel that the three nodes I referenced are in fact far too vague and scattered to be usable.

I agree with you, this reply pertained to the whole sub-thread...

One can't codify everything, it's even impossible to anticipate everything.

Let's say we had a hypothetical rule saying that more than 5 insults per day are not acceptable, then someone would insist he only insulted 4.5 times per day and that "wanker" is a normal greeting in Greece.

It's a fine line for admin interventions too.

Me and several others left another board because a (technical) admin started to delete posts criticizing her random "interventions".

So starting this public thread is exactly the way to go...
