  That common sense:

  Hey, this is off-topic. delete
  Oh, this word isn’t allowed. delete
  Yeah… We don’t allow new accounts to post. delete

    I never said off-topic.

    ‘Hey the word Trump isn’t allowed, but I can see you were using the word ‘trump card’ and not talking about Donald Trump so I’ll use my brain and allow it”

    “Hey I can see this detailed and informative reply is only 49/50 words long. I understand the word limit is intended to create discussion, not limit it so I’ll use my brain and allow it because you’ve met the intended goal.”

    “We don’t allow accounts with arbitrary karma amount to post, because it could be indicative of a spam/bot account but I can see your comment isn’t either of those so I’ll use my brain and allow it.

      I can easily imagine automated systems that carved out the usage of “Trump card” as an expression as an exception to a block on a “Trump” rule.

      “We don’t allow accounts with a low karma amount to post, because it could be indicative of a spam/bot account but I can see your comment isn’t either of those so I’ll use my brain and allow it.

      This one is an onerous demands to large traffic communities in the event they feel they need to filter out new accounts.

      I love your examples that highlight how you want special treatment instead of following very simple rules.

        I want the spirit of the law, you seem to want the letter of the law.
