So if I'm hearing what you are saying accurately, and please correct me if I'm not, 1) you felt upset when you noticed that someone else's post didn't get administrative action when the same thing by you did. 2) You waited to see if anyone would catch it, and no one did. 3) You wish that enforcing the rules was more consistent so things like this didn't happen. 4) you decided not to use the notify administrators form, which could have led to what might appear to be more consistent enforcement.
I think I can understand your feelings about this situation. Heck, I can recognize myself in it, and I'm sure I would have similar feelings were I in your place. It feels crappy.
I like your idea of having a resource for deputies about what sites have been ruled uncivil to post, because the reality is I really have no idea. Of course, I don't think that means I'm not doing my job in this volunteer position, but that's just me being defensive and perhaps a little b*tchy. Feel free to ignore that part.
Another reality is that I don't read every post, and when I'm short on time, I don't follow every link posted. I would be shocked out of my shoes if anyone on the admin team said they do indeed read every post. That's a big reason we have the notify administrators form. I rely on that when I don't have time to check all the boards, and also when I'm not even reading for my own needs versus reading as a deputy due to time constraints.
So while I do understand wanting something to be fair without you having to point out that it's not fair, and wishing things were different, I'd like to ask you for your help in using the notify admin form when appropriate. I would find that effective from my end in trying to do my job to the best of my ability and with limited resources. I also would appreciate if you'd babblemail me or use the notify link to send me that post so I can note what site you're referring to. I could get started on a list at least for me, if not for the whole admin team.
