→Enforcement of the site's rules
What you must understand is that sysops and editors with blocking rights are not capable of seeing everything that happens here. Just like with every other set of rules, enforcement is always going to be incomplete. However, the level of enforcement grows the more people decide to report wrongdoings. There's a better chance that whoever mugged you might get caught if you report him to the police. Likewise, if anybody engages in disruptive editing, report him to one of the editors with blocking rights. There's one caveat though: my ability to handle other editors with blocking rights is limited, as they are of the same ranks as mine and can also revert whatever block I will give them. If you see an editor with blocking rights engages in a gross violation of the rules, refer to Andy or one the admins. - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 11:25, 4 March 2013 (EST)

One more clarification. DamianJohn seems to think that users can act with incivility toward Conservative as much as they like due to him supposedly engaging in incivility. I'll copy what I posted on DJ talk page in regards to this line of thinking: "I don't read every edit Conservative makes so I don't know if there are any instances of him breaking civility laws. However, even if he does break it, this does not justify others doing the same. Incivility generally disrupts whatever productive conversation is going on, is against site's rules, and it's not like anything will happen to the editor/s that are being treated with incivility if they'll simply ignore it. Incivility is not excusable even when carried against previous incivility."
If you think who someone is engaging in incivility you are allowed to talk to Andy about. Engaging in retaliatory incivility is out of the question. - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 16:10, 4 March 2013 (EST)
