you don't need to be a moderator to be the "police". some have been on these sites for a long time and their respect has been earned. when one, 2, or several of those people speak up, people tend to listen. and, if they don't listen, many others jump on the thread to back them up. it's how these sites have always worked.
if i see someone puking up spots in detail, i'm going to speak up. i don't care what a moderator says. that's how i feel and i know many others do as well. most know when to speak up and a pm isn't needed. these sites are often read by many people. eventually, someone would see a thread that was causing a stir or foul. but, i'm also not saying don't pm a moderator either. many know when to speak up and you don't need to say something to get them to speak up.
the generation of the "keyboard fisherman" began within the last couple years. the only way those people are going to know what the "rules" are is if they follow by example.
