The
Forum Guidelines are enforced, and infractions are given, every time we have proof of some violation. Mr. Just4Hobby, if it weren't because special circumstances in this case, you would get an infraction or short vacation for your reply to this thread, which reveals PA content. And Mr. txcwby6, the forum guidelines aren't there so that a member can see how he/she feels about them. They are there to be followed by all active participants.
The special circumstances: Those with PA will get a better picture of this:

Hey look here everyone. I am going to click on the private tags icon, but I will post my comment outside the brackets, so everyone can still read my post anyway. My post has nothing to do with the review, but I like getting attention, so I'm posting a toxic comment.

tatman49 decided to get involved in similar fashion:
Gee skirtchaser79411, I like your private tags style, and I'll do the same, so that everyone can read my post. I won't bother to talk about the review. Now that your toxic comment is on the internet, then it must be true, and I'll make my decisions based on your toxic comment.
04-21-2012, @10:48 PM I came across the PA content exposed due to inappropriate use of private tags. I went ahead and edited the Private tags and moved the content inside. As I got ready to save the changes I thought:
Who is going to miss my comment in red letters if I skip it just this one time? I am not adding or removing content, just moving tags around anyway. Oops.
So there you have it. The comments were exposed for several hours for everyone to read, and because of those special circumstances, no evidence of any wrong doing can be found. We will not act on allegations or speculations on what happened here. It would be nice if everyone learned to properly use the Private tags, but I am a realist.
