Rather, if we *can't* explicate clear guidelines of what is not acceptable, then we shouldn't be moderating. I'm not saying that all judgment should be removed, but that such judgment should be clearly defined.
You see, that's the trap: define it clearly so someone can play games with it. Best just to say: Be courteous and address some subject relevant to wiki.
Rules are evil, evil, evil...
So is shifting the responsibility to be courteous and relevant off of the participants.
If we are to invoke the evil of censors/moderators, they need to be bound by the evil of rules.
