The ToS means very little when it's enforced completely at any one GM's descretion. It's like we're dealing with those small, technical driving laws like using your lights to change lanes and making a complete and utter stop at a stop sign before continuing. Police aren't enforcing them all the time, if at all, because they're primarly a tool for them to pull over people they suspect of commiting larger crimes to investigate. You can't pull somebody over because you think they're selling pot out of their trunk, but you can pull them over because they forget to signal their lane change and investigate from there.
FFXI GMs don't work like that. Red or black, pick a number, spin the wheel, GM Roll, whatever. The grey areas are created when the black and white ToS was muddled by loose enforcement. It's the Wild Wild West out there with the GMs being a random bullet or stray arrow.

thats how i look at it. Then again from my experiences. its like driving down the road, an a cop pulled you over for no vehicle sticker. then you boh drive away an the cop watches a guy blow a red light an almost hits the both of you, an the cop says "AWW the hell with it, an drives off, meanwhile your faced with a 75 dollar ticket for minding our own buisness.

Thats how i see S.E an its handling of ToS. they dont ban casinos on my server, but heaven for bid you sing an 80's song about turning japanese, an they act liek you commited murder.

i dont know why my friend started singing "japanese im tuning japanese i really think so"... lol he got 24 for it, meanwhile i get to hear /blacklist. while jimmyjj is screaming he got ripped off by such an such. lol
