As other users have mentioned, the moderators don't cognitively think like a "hive-mind", more so have different perspectives on the rules and how they enforce them.
I can't speak for the moderators here, but as a member of the moderation team at Halo Waypoint, I can say that any decisions that aren't clear cut are discussed with other moderators before a decision is made, and/or action is taken. So we kinda are like a "hive-mind".

Compared to most online moderators BNet's are less strict by leagues upon leagues. Seriously. If you think that BNet mods will ban people excessively, and without thought, I implore you to visit The Waypoint Forums. The abysmal moderation staff there (which has made many people, including myself, leave their forums altogether) will people for getting into simple disagreements because it looks poorly on their community. THEN, they'll delete all evidence of the "offending" post(s), so any form of legitimate ban appeal is impossible because the only people who can see the deleted posts are those who are sentencing you.Firstly, posts are only deleted under strict circumstances, such as Duplicate posts/spam. All other offenses are edited, and edits are visible to all moderators and administrators, so if you would like to appeal a ban, then you can contact any moderator or administrator. We are a small team, but we are very active, and hold tight to the rules and regulations.
To address the OP, with the factor of "benefiting the community", the rules are designed to benefit the community, so logically breaking the rules would not benefit the community. Of course there are exceptions, and they should be considered, both here, and on the Waypoint forums.
