The rule was implemented because at the time, the art board WAS getting hundreds of posts a day, and a large portion of them were "nice 10/10"
People were using it as a way to get their post count up.
It was implemented to encourage discussion, not prevent it.
There used to be an anecdote next to the rule basically saying that anything other than "nice 10/10" was chill.
If the rule is actively getting in the way and is being badly moderated(which I think is more the case) then that sounds cool, get rid of it.
If it turns out that people are still shit and need to be told how to behave, then figure out a clearer way of explaining the rule.

I think in a case like this, it SHOULD be subjective.
A moderator should be aware of whats being said in their board, if one user posted this on something that was really good, I'd have let that slide.
But If the top 4 threads where all posts by the same user saying the exact same thing, then yeah, slap him on the wrist/gently remind him of things.
And the idea of adding ANOTHER tag for CNC and using that tag to limit what is said in a thread sounds dumb and even more restrictive than "no shitposting"
It was bad enough when I forced people add [tex] to every thread.
Same as the "post what art programs you used"
Although that was removed in the past, if its been re-added, then I assume there was an influx of people starting and ending their posts with "what program did you use?"
