I completely get your point about enforcing the purpose of the policy as opposed to just enforcing the policy, and in effect, I agree. But there's a sense where, ok, yeah, someone just linked a YT video without Viewpuring it and it had a few bad comments - doesn't bother me, as I personally dislike that policy, but as a moderator/administrator I'm expected to enforce it. I can't just ignore it because it's not causing any immediate harm - that's being somewhat irresponsible, in my opinion. It would be better to just remove that policy if everyone hates it so much.

One other thing I would like to comment on is the admin site - I don't really know that we need to create strict guidelines for what can or can't be discussed. Honestly, we should be able to discuss anything we want to. But decisions should definitely involve the community, and for the most part, they do.

But for the most part, completely agreed. Well-written post.
