We've discussed this before, but perhaps you forget.
I believe what I wrote last time, or even the last two times, is that I don't think it should be
all judgment and context. When a moderater is confronted with a user who has broken some rule in some common way, there should be some policy, guideline or precedent as to what the appropriate punishment should be. This makes the job easier. Dealing with common rule breaking shouldn't feel like solving some big dilemma. The unusual situations are what should call for that and this moderator will experience those too.
When there's no policy or guideline telling a mod how to deal with a certain situation, it makes it easier to not deal with it.
