@jeremiah @p @Moon My point is that if you make rules you create rules lawyers, people who want to post-hoc rationalize how it's fine if they break the rule-spirit, by following the rule-letter, according to their whim.
Even simple rules have seemingly infinite blowback potential, and casual suggestion of rules is a favorite game of the back-seat admin, and the foolhardy.
Doubly so that centralizing rule creation and interpretation always makes them worse, because you necessarily empower the body who handles it. Even if you are trustworthy, you attract those who above all, desire power.
So point 1. rules lawyers
