The other items you mentioned are governed by juries or admin in accordance with community standards and TOS. If you call someone nuts and it's alerted, it goes to the jury. You take your chances. If you call someone's theory nuts, it goes to the jury and if you alert on it yourself and hit the TOS it goes to jury and the MIR team if it's hidden by a jury and if not admin gets it.
