Of course we won't all be banned or punished for minor stuff.

But given how the new rules are worded it will be almost impossible not to break some of them at some point, unwittingly or not.
If you then get punished for that rulebreaking depends first of all on if someone reports you, and then on the subjective judgement of a GM. Subjective, because objectively a break of the rules is a break of the rules.

That the rules are worded such that many people, as evidenced by discussions here, are still not quite sure what some of the rules actually mean does not exactly improve anything.

SE could just have replaced all the text of the new rules with "Don't do anything bad" without anything really changing.
