Maybe it would be better if I just didn't know the rules

Ok, let me get this thing back on track. Here's the question again: what kinds of technical rule applications are worth acting on?

Is the concensus here that anything off the floor (which includes the benches) is ignored unless specifically brought to our attention?

So the band is really none of my business. Laser pointers, noise makers -- leave it alone, unless somebody notices and then let game management deal with it. Am I warm here?

Again, this is not sarcasm. I'm trying to find my way between knowing what the rule is and running a good game.
