It really doesn't matter how you write what you write or how many clear cut rules you put in the TOS, there will still be grey areas. And the more you try to pin it down, the greyer it becomes. For God's sake, this country has thousands and thousands of laws and the more we get, the more unclear things become. You think because it's a law and in writing, it's clear? Then why do we need lawyers and judges to interpret them and why do they refer to previous cases and interpretations of the laws all the time? It's good to try to make a TOS clear, but you cannot ever completely clearly define everything. There's too much that's subjective. And that's where it becomes the moderator's responsibility to make a decision and the member's responsibility to live with it.
