“Case by case always applies. We can tell when someone is not interested in discussion, an in and out “Who cares!” and when someone is discussing why they don’t care. In the meantime, yes it is advised to pay attention to mod notes as it applies to each individual situation.”

A search can be done if interested. The mod notes are not made to substitute, but to reinforce the rules. Mod notes are just a tap on the shoulder of a poster that may be running afoul of the rules.
