Board Thread:New Rules and Promotion/@comment-5590118-20160124194330/@comment-27144096-20160124195458

The problem is not the rules. The problem is that moderators can't enforce the rules. When we do, the person, usually somone here a day or two, not a community member, will go and complain that the moderator was "mean." As a result, moderators don't want to enforce the rules for fear of repercussions. The other problem is that everyone wants everyone else to follow the rules but they don't want to have to follow them, themselves.

I do not think any changes to the rules will resolve this until moderators know that they won't be looked for  for a lecture in front of others if they actually moderate. Also, this is a community primarily of 10 to 16 year olds (except everyone is over 13 because we don't discuss ages and no one would ever lie to wikia), so the average user doesn't match well with an environment better suited for some mature late teens and middle aged folks.

Also, cursing has no place here. This is a learning community. I know that you allow cursing on your IRC.
