I got that from reading the posts over the past umpteen years and from many of the posts since I became a member. I understand that there are rules written to regulate behaviour on the site, however, in the past and currently, those rules have not followed or enforced. In the absence of such, then they are in the view of many posters here, and by the Posts by the great majority here, including you and Amral, they are inoperative!
Look, any smart leader or administrator will tell you that if over 75 percent of the people in under /her admin do not follow set rules, it is apparent that there is something wrong with the rules. Rules set ten or more years, when these were set (I might be wrong on this) need to be revised occasionally and such revision should include all stakeholders, not just the owner and administrators.
Also,, the rules need to be consistently enforced, not when someone becomes annoyed after being in a back and forth with another poster. This inconsistency sends the wrong message to posters and leave them guessing when the rule will be enforced.
You are smart enough to know all of this. Is this a case of asserting position because someone is an administrator?
Saying all of the above in consideration of Amral’s ownership and right to run the site and discussion section any way he wants to.
