I am unaware of any declared forum rules, can you tell me where I might find them?

There is the deletion policy...

Posts or comments purporting to discuss 'hypothetical' violence against identifiable real people or groups, or 'ask' whether that violence is a good idea, may be deleted by administrators or moderators.

Granted, this doesn't bar advocating violence in itself, but still.

Thanks for that link satt. I did not know that existed.

Amusingly, to me anyway, stating that I think that people who rape then murder children under the age of 13 years should be put to death would violate this policy. Certainly mentioning that you support the death penalty for a named convicted criminal who had not yet been sentenced would qualify.

My favorite line from the policy is this:

We aspire to have large amounts of common sense and are not forced by this wiki page to delete anything.

Yes, that's basically what I mean.
