Thus, one last time I just have to stress this point: Keep the rules tight, but to a necessary minimum. Be strict with the trolls, but let the rest of the bunch keep their current freedom - they'll most probably use it responsibly, anyway.

(Btw, sorry for the offtopic, but I just wanted to say that I really love reading your posts, ysss. We almost always disagree - completely - but you tend do so in a sensible way. Thanks for constantly reminding me of how even online people can disagree without fighting!)
In other words or shorter: A good community should have moderators using the rules sensible, and not use rules to express their feelings or support for friends or "homeboys". I hope I understand you correctly.
