Not all regulatory regimes are based on rules. How about a principles-based regime? The relevant principle in the present case seems to be “don’t be a bag of dicks”.
I am suspicious of principles-based regimes because they give too much discretion/power to the enforcers and that it likely to lead to the usual consequences.
You just have to have public audits of the enforcers. Frankly, in this case, name-and-shame might be enough; ialdabaoth has seized the moral high ground by publicly offering truce.
Too damned easy to rules-lawyer. You can’t downvote all of someone’s posts, but what percentage can you downvote?
