I have no difficulty whatsoever in knowing what mandatory means. It means 'the
criteria for forming a judgment must be as defined'. You seem not to understand that
votes on mandatory issues on individual pages cannot overturn mandatory rules. They set
one set of criteria and one set of criteria only for decision taking.
A review of pages shows that some users on some pages are creating their own personalised
criteria in place of the mandatory criteria and making decisions that completely conflict
with the mandatory requirements of the MoS, based on their own made up criteria. That is
not allowed under MoS rules.
I don't think, Sam, you grasp the issue.

Or even worse 'lets vote to stop mandatory rules applying on this page.'
You seem to be having difficulty comprehending the difference between
rules (which are mandatory) and how they are enterpreted in each
instance (which is clearly not policy-defined).
