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.

Unfortunately it isn't implemented. Any attempt to point out that something is mandatory uses produce the response 'lets vote on it'. 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).
