The problem with implementing any sort of policy that will allow moderators to agree on the treatment of a situation is that no set policy can be agreed upon in the first place.

Maybe, but we (Mods, members, both) either fix that, or **** continues to go to hell every time there's any problem less clearcut than a spambot, and that thought concerns me.

I'm honestly not sure there's much that can be done about it. If the recent arguments are anything to go on, I'd say there's very little we can agree on at large. I'm sure that this will blow over, return to normal, repeat, blow over, etc. as every major dramatic event has in the past. I think we can only ride it out.

I don't think of it as an impossibility. The simplest way to do it, I think, would be for somone to write a thread of examples and how to deal with them and then publish it in a thread to the other mods in the mods forum. Mods can then discuss these examples, f.ex. one at a time. When a consensus is reached, those examples are ordained .. or what you call it.
