To deny anyone from offering their support or education IMO is a contradiction to the mission of the forum and IMO any rule the keeps one from offering their suppoert or education is not supportive and IMO uncivil.

Another here also wrote that if a day goes by, the rule does not count and there was no objection to that member's statement from other members or the administration, be it the deputies or DR.Hsiung.

Friends,
Also, there is a thread where there are more than 3 consecutive posts by the same poster and there is a day separating the 4th.
None of the 3 deputies or DR. Hsiung sanctioned that in relation to any violation of the rule in question. This leads me by the nature of the convention told to me here, that if something is not sanctioned, then the forum can consider that it is civil.
