I haven't been as active at WA lately but now that I have come back, I have noticed many posts that I thought were in violation of the rules.
Have you seen any of these?
Have the rules changed?
Some examples of what I have seen are:
- Sharing of website links
- Email addresses shared
- Requests to buy from their Amazon account
- Promoting others
The above have been from members who have been members for way long enough to know the rules.
Have the rules changed?
What have you seen lately that's against the rules?
Are the rules only for certain people?
Who is above the rules?

No, the rules have not changed. They are outlined here. Spam is a NO NO! If you see anyone abusing these, let me know through PM and I will deal with this right away.

Thanks, Tony!

No they haven't. I tend to take what I see in context. For example if I'm helping someone out and they want to see a privacy policy or what not..I will share mine in response. I'm not advertising my site or link, just providing it so they can use it as an example.
I've done the same with answering questions like what should I pick as a domain name for my niche. I give them the example of one of my passions and then I say, based on that I picked xxx.com as you can see it relates directly to my niche.
Now when I see someone offering to sell their services, asking for comments or feedback and throwing their URL in there, I let them know this is not OK and point them to the threads and tools where such requests can be made (i.e. the Give and take thread or Site Comments/Site Feedback).
Basically what I'm saying is, no they haven't changed but I address each occurrence contextually.

Tony,
Not that I know of and I mark all of the ones I see,
I have also not been as active in Live Chat but
if I see someone post in there when I am working
in WA I will jump over and post the link for Spam
along with a warning - I am hoping that all other
members who know the rules are doing the same.
Your friend,
Susan

I do not think the rules have changed. Maybe there is not a system that constantly monitors these violations because in general the community trusts that we will all comply with them in good faith.
