You appear to be overthinking this.
No, you're underthinking it from not knowing this place's history.
This isn't even something that's never happened before, this is standard for this lot. They always dance on the line, and not defining terms more strongly is how to have mods be construed as "abusive".
We also have people like "Spatial" at the helm now, we need something a little more solid than "Common Sense" or he'll just start deleting things that don't even break rules and he'll be given a pass for it. It'd make this little different from when Luna went nutbar insane.
What is your (general "you") motivation for posting the said meme/joke/whatever.. that's pro-cp?
So if a user is genuinely just playing around harmlessly here and there, there's no harm. If you (general "you" again) are doing it to be legitimately be pro cp or are doing it to intentionally push pro-pedo content to push back at the no pro-pedo content rule, then 'you' should expect it will be deleted and if it's been a consistent pattern you'll get warned.
Cawk could be said to be doing it as a joke instead of as an expression of actual pedophilic desires, same for Jim really, very easily.
This is why I've made it more about "Oversaturation".
Someone who isn't autistic is pretty good at detecting overall motivation and intent.
You say that now, but our mod history in both S-C and Discord have shown that we can't just go with "their better judgement", for years.
We can't just leave it up to a mod's "best discression", as you can even argue it being left to that is what got it to this point in the first place.
Common sense pretty much is using your logic in any given situation.
You see though, the logic that springs forth from it isn't as common as "Common Sense" would make it out to be.
I had numerous debates with a guy named "Whoameye" over notions of "Common Sense", and that dude claims to have raped his brother as an expression of power. It's a fallback argument lazy people here use to figure that "people agree with me already", which even when they do in a more overt way tend to have discrepencies in the subtler areas, like how to handle it, where to draw the line, etc.
It's worth considering where you're peddling the phrase "Common Sense", let alone continuing to promote the myth that it's common at all. With how much time I've spent studying people, a portion of that's gone into dispelling the "Common Sense" notion from seeing that, person-to-person, that the biggest thing it has in common solely is just it's title and the idea that other people must be like themselves (a mistake both Inq and Spatial make over two wildly different bases of belief).
I realize not everyone does this. I feel most people will understand this simple rule and why it's there, and no further explanation is needed.
It needs to be official with as little room to be vague as possible. The more vague it is the more it can serve to become a popularity contest with the room to call bias towards the mods, and with that a snowball of drama against them.
Keeping it vague is how the mods and admins can be left free to do most anything, and they cannot be trusted with that kind of power if our extensive history is to be taken into account.
To be honest this current means of handling it already leaves enough of a bad taste in my mouth, and I'll have trouble continuing modding for it if we hit a point where mods are simply allowed to do whatever they want. The mods need to be held accountable in ways that level them down to the user level, a janitorial service instead of some benevolent deity deputization.
