Also, I'm guessing that you're reporting on paid subscribers. Paid subscribers nearly always get a pass on any rules violations. Those who don't pay, are dealt with rather swiftly for even a hint at rule violations.
Having Moderated on a couple forums, Some free and some subscribed. I was told by Admin that i should lighten up on the paid guys as that's how the bills are covered. To me if you can't follow the rules set forth then the issue needs attention. I had my fill and left. Many of the free places i haunt have much better manners respect among members.
I don't miss being a moderator its a thankless tiring Job.
Now I'm now saying that all paid places are bad i have been a long time member (paying) of a forum with a great group of car guys (paid not required, just help the bills).
