It's odd, I usually see that consequence ("rules lawyering") given as a reason why they avoid being specific about the rules to begin with. It is often followed up with almost everything moderators called on saying that the comment was "on the bubble" or that the commentator failed to "read the room" or some other such nebulousness.

A post by a new member is treated differently from a post by a member with a good record and that is treated differently from a post of a member who has been warned repeatedly.
