gollark: They definitely do. Rules should be predictable and consistent.
gollark: #10 is of course fairly beeoidal, as ever, but you don't actually care about my opinion on it.
gollark: I would hope you don't actually combine the no-english with the claimed stricter enforcement, given that people like discussing Toki Pona and such.
gollark: Ubq apparently considers it quite funny that it has specific examples for advertising but not inciting racial hatred or something.
gollark: Having an overly broad harshly punished rule and then selectively enforcing it is worse than a narrower rule which might not cover some cases, except we have never actually had advertising issues not covered already.
