    I'm not seeing anywhere where a "difference in playstyles" could not apply. It was even stated before by the GMs that it was a bit of an unwritten rule. "Obstruction of play" has been a thing for years prior to the revision of the ToS. So unless we get a confirmation that this has changed I'm under the impression that it's still a legitimate reason to remove someone from a group. I'm not saying that everyone using such an excuse to kick people is right. A lot of people are not. But there are matters that players much solve themselves and this reason covers those which are legit.
    Improper expulsion voting
    This means excluding another person by manipulation of expulsion voting.

    Other obstruction of play
    This means all other behaviour that deliberately obstructs another person's game play by some means.

    Expressions that unilaterally reject another person's opinion
    Expressions that significantly lack consideration for another person
    Expressions that provoke or belittle another person, such as excessive criticism, negation/ridicule
    Expressions that compel a playing style

    With the new wording these could all come into play in the large vs small pulls debate with a gm.

    Vote kicking pure and simple is an obstruction of play for the person kicked. However, there are legitimate uses of the vote kick as no one has to endure the bad behavior of someone else. Also, kicking someone for not large pulling could fall under the forcing playstyles. And of course the rest go withhow players tend show their displeasure(on either side) and that could make or break each of the other reasons. It all depends on where they stand. With new rules they have given themselves way more leeway in dealing with reports. Question is how are they enforcing it.
