Rules exist for a purpose, evading them has consequences, both the rules and the consequences must be enforced equally and consistently and whether or not people agree with them doesn't change their responsibility to abide by them or face the consequences.
Though the speed limit itself CAN be wrong, if you put 10km/h on a steep slope most cars can't go up, or having stupidly slow speeds on straight multi-lane highways.
I do agree with Eos here though, the problem is not the rules. The other sections of the forum have always worked very well inside them. The problem was always how to deal with leniency on the funhouse. However, I do agree the obscenity rule gets sillier every time it's updated, seriously now, even youtube-safe videos can now be not safe, if you have anything like a sexy dance or people saying naughty words it would be considered an offense by the new rule. And here was I thinking the world was going on a less pudic way with topless being allowed at beaches (where people younger than 18 are allowed, mind you) and stuff.
