I agree with @BlackYps here. I think there's a fine line to walk, and the wording, while probably too vague, is fair for a reasonable outcome I'd want:
Discussing moderation decisions in public is discouraged
I don't think mods walk that fine line and instead go the far direction and act like it's completely disallowed vs discouraged. I fully agree that people who get banned for saying hateful/stupid crap in cut and dry cases should not be allowed to run their mouths about how it's unfair publicly. We already disallow that and I see that kind of rhetoric get shutdown as is. I'm good with that, and I think everyone else here is also good with that.
The problem is when presumably well-meaning people get shut down when talking about valid hypotheticals, especially when it's actually a hypothetical that's not associated with a report. I don't see why we can't have this while also having the former, they're not mutually exclusive and I don't think allowing valid hypotheticals is going to noticeably increase the occurrence of the former scenario. The benefit of allowing these hypotheticals is clear: we can more clearly define and outline community rules and guidelines.
I get why people in the community are frustrated about this when the rule clearly uses the word "discouraged" and then mods come around and say:
While we welcome suggestions to the FAF rules or feedback on the moderation system in general, we will not allow the discussion of specific reports or moderation cases.
Which has no basis in the rules with how they're currently worded. Discourage in no way, shape, or form means that you categorically cannot do something. I would be discouraged from rushing a t2 mex in a 1v1 on a 5x5 map. I am not allowed to nuke my teammate's base because they took a mex that I thought should be mine. Those fundamentally do not mean the same thing. The wording needs to be updated if mods wish to actually claim this is a rule, but I would only be for an update that allows for hypotheticals and perhaps good faith discussions of actual reports, though that last part could be difficult to implement.
