As for rules, I always try to make them in a way, that they only limit the users' freedom as much as necessary, so that they don't feel like being restricted in their freedom too much.

Of cause, if someone violates the rules, I first assume good faith and try talking to them to inform them about their mistake, so that they can explain themselves or tell me, that they didn't know.

If it was obvious vandalism or spam, then I am not this kind, though.

Also, rules go for all users, regardless what rank they have in the community, this also includes admins, admin/bureaucrats and wiki founders like myself. ^^
