partially; you owe it to your mods, too, and the community members who follow the rules. rules are just words, and they are very easy to ignore or forget about in the moment of poor mental health. we had a similar rule among others, locked down the channel behind a role that mods had to apply manually to an account after the user DMed one with a small summary of the rules in their own words (to make sure they read the rules, and also to make sure people weren't just stumbling into the vent channel), and even enforced a 5 minute slowmode on it to give people time to think about what they were going to say and prevent spam. did not stop the occasional bombshell.
tl;dr: it takes a village to keep a village from burning down.
