If members would adopt a sane attitude toward each other, we won't have to intervene that often. We adopted a minimalistic approach in the last year or so and look where it got us. So before saying getting rid of the rules, each member should start changing whatever bad habit he may got.

It's not a matter of being on the defensive. Nothing alarming yet. This forum remains as Tai said events driven. By the way, don't expect radical changes overnight. It's a long run job in able to assure a continuity for this forum in the future.
Lallous the bolded part is also part of the problem.

You can't say that "the rules are not the bible per se" and use them to warn people or ban them.

They're either the bible or their place is not in the rules section. You can call them recommendations

Rules should be like a constitution hard to trespass and not subject to interpretation.

A lot of the comments are related to these interpretations where the most unacceptable thing happens:
" ya7oukkou li, ma la ya7oukkou li ghayri"

If this is FPM's official forum, it should send the right message: "No one is above the law"
