And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

Do whatever, ruleslawyering is not helpful. Is the community enjoying it? It stays. Is it detrimental? It gets removed. The "rules" should be more like guidelines to suggest to posters what type of content the intent of the community is, not what type of content is permissible.

Is someone posting vaguely in the direction of the intent of the community? That would be good enough for me.

Anyone trying to separate posts into increasingly niche communities (like the asinine dontdeadopeninside and nosafetysmokingfirst split on reddit) is not helping the community of posters and lurkers.

I totally agree. Rules number 1, 4, and 5 are the most important, in my opinion. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be rules in the communities; there definitely should be rules. Guidelines for what to post instead of what not to post will probably be more beneficial.
