Indeed, on that point all reasonable people would agree.

But if management hasn't ever effectively enforced the current rules, why would you believe adding to or replacing the current set of rules will be any more effective?

If I recall correctly, you and I also agree the real issue at the heart of the matter is too many posters choosing not to exercise self-control over their responses to what others say. Membership doesn't fix that, and nor will a new set of rules.

The only cure for the problem that plagues this forum is effective moderation. We keep hearing that "it is coming" at the same time that the current moderation becomes more and more repressive, and less and less effective.

So maybe you don't just have a rule problem, eh?
