After I just received and infraction I decided to read over some of the forum rules. As I read thru them I realized that some moderators( I am not calling out any individuals at all) seem to enforce some petty rules but turn their back to ( or dont notice) some larger infractions. Some rules that caught my eyes are below and I was wondering what others thought of these rules. Please discuss in a civil manner.
