Reading that, we're on the same page regarding basically everything. The issue lies with how the "greyness" and translation of the final point will show for each and every mod, as we all have different experiences and views. I get that concern, and it's a fair concern to have.
When it comes to that final rule, we already have a guideline set in place that the team needs to come together and make sure the post in question qualifies for the harsher ban. So far every ban under this new rule has been dealt with by Mod discussion. Because with us dishing out a harsher (than usual) ban, we need to be extra sure that we are issuing a right ban. So know that these sorts of bans will never be issued from only one person, and therefore only one viewpoint.
Also, we are very much capable at messing up or issuing a moderation that doesn't meet the "crime". It's why we have the Mod Thread and it's why we're open to hearing from anyone about a particular issue. We'll always listen if someone wants to talk to us in a civil manner (like now!).
I guess this is something we need to earn, and I understand that. I'll make sure that we don't abuse it or use it to stifle constructive discussion. Believe it!
