Do you agree that the extent to which the rule (which i know exists and should be black and while) has been bent in the past? If not, let me try to explain where I'm coming from so you might see my side of things

Students and mentors have OFTEN posted from an anonymous account asking for advice on what to do with their team, school, parents, or even mentors. There are also many anon joke accounts. There are threads that have been incredibly heated, and volatile and have had inappropriate posts. However, these threads which have broken these rules have not always been immediately taken down. Sometimes they are locked by a moderator, and other times, they are exemplified as very important topics which need discussion.

What I am getting at is that CD mods don't remove posts on a whim, but from my perspective, the rules are not neutrally enforced.
