Fister Roboto posted:

What rules are being broken? Serious question. The conversation seemed cordial enough to me.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I would also like to know what rules are being broken, this post should not have been probated.
I read through both the rules and the discussion and found no obvious rule breaks.
If you are going to do the kind of intervention you did you can atleast explain yourself more clearly.

While the rules try to be 'hard' so to say the targets are 'soft'. There is no binary of breaking and following the rules, or even a spectrum.
More of a... pseudo-spectrum of interpretation.
Roboto's post was probated for bad faith but it read to me as a completely good faith question (that i also had myself!).

It would be more helpfull if instead of probating such a question you quoted a few example posts that you interpreted as breaking a rule, stating the rule it broke and a short reasoning why.
Maybe even give some feedback on how it could have been made in a better way.
Just refering to the rules without explanation risks confusion when different interpretation do not line up.
In my opinion the 'heavy' kind of ruleset used here that require effort and rigour from the posters should require doubly so for the moderators.
