Not true we just keep it simple, we have a vbulletin.org branding iron here labeled "THIS IS SPARTAAAAVB.ORG" we burn into you if you violate our site in any manner it's painful too I had Marco use it on me once jk jk
Yes if no one reports and we don't see it then its virtually invisible to those with the power to take action... basically what you said I just worded it differently lol. For me regardless if new or old member I tend to give a harmless warning first time via pm i.e. a "heads up, don't do that, this is why blah blah blah" per say, after all some truly do not know all the rules despite using the site regularly, the new guys and gals have an excuse the veterans of this site not so much .
And do you pm a harmless warning to anyone? Thats not as you put it old or new members,I'm relating to companies as opposed to individual members as you put it.
^ I try a harmless warning with all however companies attempting to do lite versions of their modifications on here should take the time to read the site rules and as cellarius said sometimes we simply remove the thread/mod as they should "know".
Does everyone receive a pm? No.
Is a pm required? No.
We do try being courteous by sending a pm letting members know why we did this or that etc, just seems nice to let them know "why" action was taken.
So how do the likes of DBtech,get around rule #13..

You seem to have a personal issue with them - so go and take it out with them elsewhere.
Or you can point to a concrete break of rules, then why don't you just report it?
But don't expect a coder collective that has provided many useful addons to vB (be it free or paid) to be banned or something in the blink of an eye.

If you're referring to the Hivelocity link, that's a tracking link to let Hivelocity see where their traffic/signups are coming from. We do not receive any form of affiliate payments or credit from them. Instead we ask that any DBTech customer gets an extra discount by the sales staff by mentioning DBTech .

I'm merely using DBTech as an example. I can't use you as an example due to your signature.But I could always come back with as you put it,and quote.
