The inconsistency both within as well as among forums should, imho, be addressed, implementing a best practice FT-wide so that posters get a consistent and meaningful opportunity for collaborative input site-wide.
We don't live in a perfect world and no two umpires call balls and strikes the exact same way. There will always be some variance and interpretation of the rules as you well know. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. To date you have not proved it is broken! @:-)

I seriously take issue with this statement. You are fully aware that there are decisions made by moderators that we are not allowed to discuss in public! You are trying to take o2k's comments, changing the context of same to your advantage when what o2k has posted is totally appropriate!!!
