Why aren't we simply trusting our chat users to reliably report rule-breaking?

The measures currently in place change people's behavior because "Big Brother is watching", which, at least in my opinion, is just plain wrong. People should be allowed to be themselves so long as it isn't directly harmful to other users, but the chat logging scares some users out of behaving the way they normally would.
