Side note, Snormy in the Community Shut The Hell Up Thread explicitly stating, “Screw rules, we know what’s good for you.”

A quick look and I can say that your type of enquiry isn't likely to get any answer you want. You want a more clearly defined line but moderation is always going to be a bit fuzzy on where the line is drawn. This is partly because we need to have the ability to escalate particularly bad examples while also tapping users lightly with warnings etc. Users will also always toe, push and rail against the line, lean in suggestively but insist they are not crossing it or whatever. Ultimately users who are moderated frequently disagree that they should be moderated, engage in reasons, examples, pedantry and all that. I know it sucks but I can only advise to consider why it reported. Know that sometimes it is tonal or wording choice that tips you beyond the benefit of the doubt, other times maybe you're saying something that isn't wrong per se but other users have been saying the same things in a way to antagonise or troll others. So if you are more confused than where we started then you're already understanding better because that's how I feel sometimes trying to find that stupid line and determine when it is cross or where exactly users can toe up to.

Why’d you get warned/banned? You work it out, it should be obvious.

I mean, if it’s clear to three different signatories for the ban, it should be obvious, right?
