Note: This isn't an appeal or anything of the sort, just a question regarding the moderation standards laid out in the Politics PDF. My primary question is for the moderators, though I’m open to others sharing their experiences with these rules.
@Nica argued that "different PDFs might have different criteria, so don't try to compare them..." which effectively shut down a ban appeal (I won't link it here since it's unrelated to this thread).
So, my first question: why can't we compare them when there are clearly general Reddit rules that apply to the entire site?
I'm looking at three specific criteria:
Criterion1, from Eck Strile:
Criterion2, from @L3go:
Criterion3, from @Aese:
Since the Politics PDF "might have different criteria," one obvious question remains.
To put it simply, my second question is: does the Politics PDF actually permit users to engage in behavior that falls under Criterion1, Criterion2, and Criterion3? I would appreciate a confirmation for each individual criterion.

Criterion1, from Eck Strile:
Criticizing material—regardless of who produced it—isn't just allowed, it's necessary. The key is having actual arguments to back up the critique, which should be common sense. It's not an issue to state that something is factually wrong, provided you have solid reasoning. Reducing an argument to "this is a product of [ideology], therefore it's garbage" isn't a real argument.
Criterion2, from @L3go:
Of course you can say you don't like something; nobody is stopping you from doing that in a few posts. But you hammered on about how pathetic BB is and how stupid everyone watching is for ten posts straight.
Initially, posts were just being deleted because you went too far, but you kept pushing it, which is why you got a warning.
Criterion3, from @Aese:
You got a warning because you targeted a female user, insulting her while clearly knowing you were doing it just to provoke a negative reaction.
