Do you think that there could be a way to enforce the severity of rules without consequently ruining the overall mood of the forums?

I think the problem may be that plenty members do not consider it that thoroughly, but instead simply post for "fun," and may end receiving a warning/ban.
I think that the current severity of rule enforcement is pretty good. On the one hand, we want to encourage people to enjoy their time here, and participate in discussion, but, on the other hand, members should not be replying to spam, flaming other members, etc..
I think, as long as warnings are given for the first infringement of its type, there should be no major problems, as members are then discouraged from posting inconsiderately, but the punishment is not too server. Were the rules to be enforced more harshly, I think the mood would be affected, and if the rules were enforced less severely there would be too little discouragement to post within the rules.
I can't really see any way to allow members to post entirely for "fun," without it negatively affecting other members, so I think warnings/bans are necessary, even if it does affect the mood.
