Common sense, as noted in this thread by the OP and others, is subjective and is different for each person. Let's say User X's common sense of what is allowed consists of Fish, Toaster, Xbox, Basketball, and Cat. On the other hand, Moderator Y's common sense of what is allowed consists of Fish, Toaster, Playstation, Basketball, and Dog. Now, if User X attempts to exercise the use of Fish, Toaster, or Basketball, Moderator Y will be fine with it and let User X go about his day. However, if User X decides to use Xbox, Moderator Y may or may not allow it, as it somewhat aligns with what they believe is OK since Xbox is similar to Playstation, but maybe they think it's just different enough to warrant a ban or warning.
Now, if User X is so unlucky as to use Cat, they're most certainly getting a ban. For whatever reason what they think is common sense and allowed is the exact opposite of what Moderator Y thinks is common sense and allowed.
But lets say Moderator Q(bix89) comes along and he thinks that Fish, Crab, Norway, Very Well Groomed Woman-like Hair, Xbox, and Cat are okay, then User X has no gray area to deal with, but him and the moderator have very different opinions on about half of the things that, for them, fall into the realm of common sense. User X has a 100% chance of getting banned if he goes into the wrong territory, and that's just how it works.
Subjectivity is as subjectivity does.
