Plus, the looser and more up-to-interpretation your ruleset is, the easier it is to make calls on that sort of thing. Sticking to a strict set of rules like the ones I have to deal with means that if the problem user can find a loophole, you can't tag them with a ban because they're technically doing nothing wrong. However, when the rules are more guidelines, and it's all actually up to the administrators' common sense, you can overrule any loopholes the problem user finds and give them a block anyways. Yet, if you allow constant amendment to fill such loopholes, the system is fine.
