I don't really have the time to properly read the whole thing tonight but I will say something about the policy. You say "As a chat moderator, administrator, or anyone, you're not enforcing policies. That's not what you're supposed to be doing. You're supposed to be enforcing the purpose of the policy."

On the chat here the policy is used as tool for chat moderators to use. It gives them and everyone else an outline to follow on here. What with some of our mods being stricter than others, we need an outline where we can clearly look and see that yes, this user disobeyed the policy and that is why they were banned or kicked. A lot of users here don't respect the CM's final decision so we need something to point to.
