^ I feel that breaking this excellent guideline harms MusicBanter by discouraging people from wanting to discuss their opinions about music openly here. So I argue, as I have for 3 years now, that mods should also follow the rule when enforcing it.
We do follow it. We're also human and not robots and occasionally might say something out of turn, but then we've never banned or infracted a member for saying one thing out of turn either.
Like I've said endlessly in the past we give people chances. Sometimes they need to be told to cool off sometimes they don't. We treat people like adults not kids.

I also seem to remember with some of the people did constantly ignore warnings and were banned for this, you were the first person to defend them and say they should be given another chance.

• Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) nonsense posts, or the like.
What makes you think it's not being enforced already?
How many pictures do you think I should allow before I start throwing out bans or infractions? 1? 2? 3? 4?
