As some of you may know, a sister forum, atheistdiscussion.org, has as its primarily rule, "Don't be a dick." The inadequacy and subjectivity and potential abuse of such a criterion has been criticized by several on this forum as likely to result in unjust and unfair abuses by the staff of that forum. I do not see how such criticisms would not apply here. Tiberius has been good about doing what he can to eliminate subjectivity from interpretation and enforcement of the rules, instead of depending upon subjective interpretations of intent, or whatever. I don't know that Steelcurtain's summary of the criteria is accurate or not, but to my eye it incorporates a lot of the practice, if not any letter of the law. I would ask that Tiberius clarify if these are indeed the criteria being employed, and if so, why he considers such subjective criteria wise when applied to slack, but not when applied to the forum as a whole.
My one concern with equating atheistdiscussion.org with AF is that here we have actual theistic interactions, even if it is mostly from trolls (they can be fun). AD.org is just a coffee house forum.
