A mod 'bot (robot) has been introduced to help avoid some recent forum problems.
It will parse all posts made to these forums, and automatically assign alerts (if required) depending on content.
If your post is deemed to be completely unacceptable, you will be cautioned, but you may protest the decision by sending feedback and ask for the post to be reinstated. Please do not do this unless you feel you genuinley have a case.

You're right that this resolves some problems with inconsistency, and that is a great virtue. Alas, Skynet is silent on non-profane failures of politeness. So please, Prad, keep vigilant!
