Trust develops over time.
When bakers cooperate to work out differences, trust grows.
Tolerance is necessary as well because bakers are by nature independent thinkers (so are BOs).
Strong opinions mean tolerance is a challenge.
You had strong opinions about namefagging, but your opinion changed due to experience. To understand that our present opinion may not be โฆ.hmmmโฆoptimal - that's helps us to cooperate with others with different opinions.
Another example - you mentioned BAKERS SELF NOTING
On big boards like QR, competition for space in notables is high. Since bakers have a 'competitive advantage' self noting is discouraged.
On smaller boards, the diggers ARE the bakers. Digger collects the notes and bakes them, maybe with help, maybe not.
So really depends on the situation i think.
Saw a baker ask anons if ok to self-nom yesterday - looked at his post, seemed good so i nommed.
Like the idea of RULES OF THUMB rather than just RULES (at least for most things).
