At least, the mods seem to do nothing about it. (Though they might send private messages to some posters; I don't know.)
Being a Mod is a thankless job. It never ends and without them this would be the wild west.
They do their best and after all... they do it for free.
While I, at times have disagreed with the mods, i'm a moderator on a very large VW forum so I understand what's involved. I respect them and appreciate what they do.
If you want to help... hit the report button and make them aware of chronic rule breakers and bad posts.
