'Enforcement' is based on someone deciding to report your post and then a small jury of other members deciding that your post 'breaks a forum rule'. I think the jury size is like 7 but I'm not entirely sure on the number but I'm pretty sure it's not like 100.

I'm also fairly certain that some people on juries only read the 'top line' of the rule ('Don't Bash Democrats' for example) and don't refresh their memory as to the 'letter of the law' that follows (the detailed description of the rule).

This process (and relatively small jury size) means that there's an arbitrary nature to post removal.
