The simple fact of the matter is that many rules have underlying functions in them. Take for instance if you will, the limit on level 3 RCs. This is mostly to control the ammount of people with the ability to ban. While that's not ALL the rule is for, it's a big part. Less people banning means it will be more of a privilage. Managers won't give everybody on RC ban rights, and thus, there will be far fewer instances of angry staff banning people for bad reasons or without reasons at all.

It's to cut down on problems. It's true that they are guidelines, but they're not optional. If you're doing everything right, you should be affected by them little to none. If they're causing you to completely re-organize your staff, maybe they weren't being properly managed before.

Also to curb the inevitable arguement "but all my staff use their rights properly and we've never had a problem". Be that as it may, some of the rights staff have aren't necessary for them to do their jobs properly. Even if a Developer, for example, never banned anybody unjustly, that doesn't mean he needs ban rights to make content for the server.
