"The point of a benign dictatorship is that the dictator can do as he wants." Yes, that's the point, for the dictator. How does it benefit you not to have rules saying the benign dictator can't beat you for no reason?
Also, we don't know who the dictator is, or how many of them there are.

When one can rely on the benignity, probity, and sound judgement of the dictator, such rules are unnecessary, although publishing general guidelines can be useful to let everyone know where they stand.

The dictator is Eliezer, acting directly or through whoever he delegates any matters to.
Yesterday, someone moved one of my posts from Main to Discussion without telling me. Again.
I encourage the site administrators to show some basic courtesy to the posters who provide the content for the site. I believe this would be a better way of doing things:
1. Have a policy on what has to happen to move a post from Main to Discussion. Who can do it? How many admins are there who can do this? State this policy in a FAQ.
2. When you move a post from Main to Discussion, make a comment on the post saying you have done so and why you have done so.
