The actions taken will depend on the nature of the rule-breaking. I don't want someone to start bitching because we slapped him with 20 points instead of only 10.

This way it will though make it more difficult for the volunteer moderators to handle things, as they must always discuss verdicts and then justify them and then there is whining and then and then and then...endless food for rules lawyers.

If this should be enforced fast, effective and since we want to make people do not bad things at all, then you have to provide also the punishments.
For the sake of the mental health and time management of the moderators and of course also as deterrence for any possible offenders.
You simply don't discuss about 20 or 10 points. There is the rule. There is the punishment. You break the rule, you face the appropriate punishment.
