Agreed. If anything, I've seen relevant posts be removed as "not related to self-hosting" when they're questions about stuff like certificates.

People called my first post here low effort, complained a lot and called me names so I deleted it. It was a screenshot of the jellyseerr announcement to merge with overseerr. They wanted a link of an article even though there was none and they only announced it on disc.

You're right. One problem is, even though mods already have the power, specifically saying in the rules that the criteria is subjective sounds like something that a mod would make when they are tired of having to explain their moderation choices. They can just say that it was low-effort, and problem solved. They don't need to explain themselves, right? But when the rules are vague, I think they'll end up with more complaints from people who have different criteria of low-effort from the mods. This sort of interaction leads to accusations of mods power-tripping. If the mods can nail down exactly what is low-effort, like, "X will always get removed. Z will never get removed unless it violates other rules. Y may be at risk of the moderator's mood. You have been warned." If they nail things down a bit more, then they will probably make things easier for themselves in the long-run than just keeping things vague. Plus, if the rules are not vague, then people can discuss them safely when the rules are changed. When rules are vague, people will simply be upset that moderation was sprung on them, and everything will be discussed while people are upset. My belief is that people best discuss things while calm, and not while experiencing one person having power over another.
