why moderate this weird way different from essentially everywhere else?
I don’t see any significant evidence that the moderation here is weird or unusual. Most forums or chats I’ve encountered do not have bright line rules. Only very large forums do, and my impression is that their quality is worse for it. I do not wish to justify this impression at this time, this will likely be near my last comment on this post.

I went over:
Permitted norms on reddit, where I have 120k karma and have never been banned.

Can you justify a complex theory on weak evidence?
