How about "enforce it"?
Learn it first. Rule 9: "....please do not assume that 'nothing is being done' when you report a post. Most of the measures that are taken will remain hidden to most of the membership. Admin considers it unfair for Admin/Mods to publicly humiliate our members."
Oh I've learned it. I know it. I'll live it as soon as you enforce it.
How could you possibly know when a member has been given time off or other punishment?
Think about it. There are a number of ways. though, I've not said that you haven't done this at all.
Basically you are saying the rules are not enforced.

Think about what?

What's one way?

Your last sentence makes me wonder why you're whining at all.

What rule has not been enforced?
Every single one has not been enforced every time it has been broken. Ive been told numerous times that nothing will be done unless it’s reported. So breaking a rule goes unpunished unless someone reports it. One would think that mods could identify them themselves. Either way, I don’t care really. I just thought the statement was funny considering the lack of enforcement.

Maybe some think justvefiting our violations in punishment lol

No, mod-speak for the rules are as enforced as we can.

If certain posters weren’t determined to violate multiple rules with each post, we might have a chance to keep up.

I admit that I am less than perfect, however I think it would be nice if people would think a moment before they post, and try a little harder to consider the intent of those who set up this forum for the rest of us to give voice to our views.

"Ive been told numerous times that nothing will be done unless it’s reported"

Link? I have never ever uttered those words.

It doesnt hurt though to report a violation. Mods and Admin are unpaid positions and they can't be expected to read every single post.

Again, I'll wait for that link from you

Believe it or not mods don't read every single post. There is a report feature for a reason. REPORT THINGS. If not stop complaining.
