I didn't remember that, lol. As I said I have been trying to be more active in reporting bad posts when I see them. So a very clearly rulebreaking post that the everyone who read it, except me, didn't report.

I didn't mean my post to be a criticism of modding, because if posts aren't reported they can't be acted on. As posters we need to be more proactive in reporting bad posts. We bear responsibility for terrible posts not being acted on if we don't report them.

If people aren't reporting things it may be indicative that they don't think they should be moderated. You can't make people report things in that instance. Even if they break the rules because not everyone is going to agree with the rules.

What you're observing I think is an unwillingness to snitch, which I would suggest might demonstrate a lack of buy in to the rules or enforcement thereof. And thus appealing to people to more proactively snitch is likely not to be effective.
