If I had Kieron, I could show you Jacob_ said that.
Quoting Jacob_'s PM to you as screenshotted,
"As for minor violations like off-topic posting and old threads getting bumped, that's because the mods and I have decided that sometimes enforcing minor rules isn't worth it. If something is actually hurting the community, like talking about politics in a thread about scripting, then we'll fix it, but a few off-topic posts [in a thread] don't cause problems unless the whole thread gets derailed, and then we would split it."
This is not saying all minor rules always go unenforced; it is merely saying that if it's very small, according to circumstances we may ignore it. If someone complained about it for some reason, we (at least I) would take appropriate action.
