No society works this way, people report crimes, people enact legal cases, and the authorities deal with them accordingly. Issues such as omertà are obviously a problem and aimed at subverting any rules. Part of the social contract is to report infringements.. that some use them as personal vendettas is not really an issue because if a rule is broken it's warned and if not it's not.. so don't break rules, just don't be a dick.
This. I never thought this would be a controversial opinion. We have established that there isn't enough moderation staff to babysit all the threads here. This is the next best thing we can have to a community that fosters constructive discussion.
