Im not demanding rules not apply to me at all. Im also not asking subs or moderators change…. I’m asking why reddit at the admin level can’t implement the option to ban people from posting or commenting only, in addition to the bans they already have in place? Or why it isn’t already a thing? 
I have created a sub with my own rules, btw. There is only two rules, and it aligns with ‘common sense’ and Reddit’s rules in general. The quality of commenters on my sub is quite high. However, I understand with only a few thousand subscribers, rules do not need to be as specific, but again, my issue isn’t really with moderators or sub rules, it’s the lack of options for moderators to ban users from posting only if they feel that poster hasn’t complied with whatever it is they want 
But I also mod for two medium subs (that i didn’t créate) as well where this isn’t a problem. They’re both growing pretty rapidly.

The issue here is that your goals are not aligned with the goals of the people that run popular subreddits.
They are not trying to make their subreddits accessible.  They are not trying to create a public forum where everyone gets a fair chance to speak.  They are not trying to make it easy for people to participate in posting. 
They are only trying to restrict posts to very high quality content that will make their subreddit more popular.  Bans for rule violations don't need to be fair or good for posters.  They only need to filter our all but the highest quality content. 
The result is that posting is left to professional and semi-professional content creators.  Banning amatures is not an issue. >

Yeah this seems to be partially the case. I’ve been trying to spend most of my reddit time on small subs just for my own sanity. People are more human-y there. Anyway, thanks for being the first to actually address my question

Most of those rules ARE common sense, simple and/or obvious, and simply common to a lot of subs. If you do not want to learn which rule apply to which sub you post in, consider applying the strictest rules to all the subs you post in, and you will never get into trouble, while not having to check for rules for every sub.
And yes, if you are using an alt and post in a sub you had your main banned, you risk it being nuked. The answer to that is ... not using an alt, and/or taking the time to read the rules. 
It is not long to read an "OC only" rule.
If you have been moderating some subs, you know there are botting problems. Lots of karma farming happens in those popular subs, so rules and enforcement is harsher. 
In the grand scheme of things, banning karma farmers has been deemed much more important than being more forgiving to people who cannot bother reading the rules of posting in a sub, and demand they should be exempted from. >

An OC only rule is not a standard rule. I am not talking about not making a repost. OC for mildly interesting means snapping the pic yourself. 
For example, one of my posts was about rubber prison pens which I had never heard of before. So I found a pic of a rubber prison pens online to show what they were. 
Karma farming from bots, from what I understand, is reposting stuff. This can easily be ascertained (by the poster) from searching the subreddit first to make sure it’s not a repost and/or by the auto mod to make sure the same link isn’t posted twice. 
If a bot is able to come up with their own fact that is not common knowledge, create a title about it, and pull the pic from elsewhere - none of which is copied from anywhere else on reddit, then we might as well just give in to our new overlords at that point.
Many subreddits have pages of rules, I’m sorry but that’s ridiculous. As I said in my post, for sub specific rules with formatting, etc, that’s what the auto mod is for. That’s what users who click the report button is for. 
As for not having alts: why? Im not trying to get doxxed? I have different interests that I want compartmentalized. Just because you don’t see the use of alts doesn’t mean they’re not useful (for things that aren’t at all malevolent, trolly, or spammy). >

Ok let me explain.
In any society, there are rules. Reddit can be seen as such, with every sub being a sub society with its own rules.
Wether anyone feel they are justified or not is beside the point. If you participate in a sub, either respect said rules, or dont and face the consequences. 
I am not judging how some rules are better or too complex or anything, and how some subs have too many or too complex rules, or why you should use alts or not. 
The issue at hand is taking responsibility for your actions.
You are demanding that rules should not apply to you because you feel they are not convenient. This is a major issue when living in any society. 
A major difference between society and reddit is if you dont want to follow a sub rules, you can totally create your own, with a different set of rules... and then you will take responsibility for it.
If you despise those rules so much, or do not understand why they are there, creating your own space with your own set of rules should be an eye opener. 
I am genuinely asking this : why dont you do this ? Either you are right, those rules are too restrictive, and your sub will flourish, or you will find out exactly why they are in use and end up enacting some more restricting rules.
