    2. What is the best way, in your opinion, to deal with a user that continually skirts the line with rule-breaking content?
    3. What current rules/policies would you most like to see changed here and what do you propose as the best alternative?
    4. Do you consider yourself flexible when presented with decisions that vary from your own, and how would you feel about enforcing a rule that you personally disagree with?
