>Rules are often even selectively enforced, sculpting narratives that moderator cliques decide on (see /pol/ for example).

I can tell you for a fact that the large majority of the mods despise /pol/. As for rules not being enforced, if a post is not reported it likely won't be acted upon.



I've reported 1000+ non-illegal posts for breaking the rules, at minimum, with very low (<5%) action/moderation rate on the extreme boards.
