Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

But... we had those on reddit. I didn't see many actual examples of the "moderator gone power crazy" stereotype that is so often echoed there (especially by people who fully deserved the moderator action they received).

The issue wasn't that the rules were clear. The issue was that people refused to read them in the first place, and became hyper-defensive and obstinate whenever they were called out on it, even by moderators.

No moderator went on to call out users who were down voting for disagreement, because this data is not public on Reddit.
