I have chosen to abandon all the major changes I had planned. This post will be used for feedback and suggestions. Since I'm the only mod I need community feedback.

I thought the motivation for the changes was obvious. The interpretation of the rules by the former moderator was so narrow, the community ended up (banning people for having left-wing views) and enforcing liberalism. There was no room for discussion, because if you had a discussion, the worst was assumed and you were banned. It went against the core ethos of the community. It seems that Kittenzrulz only wanted to bring the enforcement of the rules more in line with their spirit. There was never any wish to allow liberal points of view, only points of view from people further to the left like soulists and other schools of anarchism.

the community ended up banning people for [...] enforcing liberalism.

That's because this explicitly goes against rules 2 and 5

No defending oppressive systems or organizations

No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities. Anyone that supports the mass murder of civilians will be banned.

You've misread that sentence. The community ended up banning people. The people had left wing views. The community ended up enforcing liberalism. I understand how grammatically that sentence was ambiguous, but surely you could have extended the benefit of the doubt to My intentions and realised I was against liberalism.

People were banned for bringing liberalism where it's explicitly stated to not be allowed.

The sentence was confusing because it's the complete opposite of what actually happened.

Unless soulism preaches a different definition of liberalism, because midtraveler also has a strange definition of liberalism.
