I have a question about general moderation.
Rule #11 of the Minor Problems section of Forum Rules reads:
"11. Common sense. In the end, use common sense. When you are about to post messages just to increase your post count, or post something you think is funny at someone else's expense, think to yourself "Is this annoying?" If the answer is yes, don't do it."
Although the specific examples listed were "post count" and "posting at someone else's expense", it seems to me that it ends with the clear thought "If what you're posting is annoying, then don't do it".
Given that "annoying" is a subjective quality, I was curious about how this rule is enforced.
If a post or thread is reported for breaking this rule, is it the opinion of the Moderator who receives the report as to whether the post/thread breaks this rule?
Are reports tracked so that they can indicate trends?
Thanks
