I mean i do think some rules should be applied subjectively based on the situation, let's say the "grab-bag" threads are not necessarily bad if done in a proper way and all have ideas more or less aligned with each other.
But then again we have rules like no spamming and then we have the ex-mod nocock shitting up the forums with his 10 double posts per mintue just to fuck shit up or the dozens of troll idea threads, those kinds of dimwits who do this shit intentionally to shit up the forums should be directly bonked by the moderation until they calm down and stop being angry about w/e to actually stop being an intentional detriment to the forums.
