As someone who actually does read the rules for a bunch of places; they often have no relationship to what actually gets enforced.
This isn't just a problem for social media communities. A bunch of business use boilerplate contracts and terms-of-service that again have no relation to how they actually operate.
I had a post about dishwashers (from the Technology Connections guy) removed from the Technology community because it wasn't "on topic." I'm sorry if I missed that dishwashers have been around since the Bronze Age.
Bronze is still technology. So are stone tools, and sticks when they're used as tools.
