Common sense is always good as is paying attention to peoples expectations as they try to figure out (pretty complicated these days) what is expected by the the community. We should always consider how situations feel to our users and never simply mechanically apply rules.

Next on the agenda is "Rules": what rules are we going to enforce - on what basis will people be found guilty. Some possibilities (brainstorming, really):
- Our common sense and judgement.
- Some or all of the [[Wikipedia:policies and guidelines]]
- The [[Wikipedia:Submission Standards]]
- Community consensus
- Jimbo's opinion
- Morality/ethics
- ...
There are no doubt many more. There's also the option of going with a similar approach to the way we handled Jurisdiction and starting off with a minimal set that we can interpret flexibly and nail down (if necessary) later.
So, opinions?
