What kinds of posts fall under the Courtesy Rule here?

[William O]

From the Guidelines:

Quote

 Courtesy

Participants agree not use this forum to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of U.S. law.

No personal attacks

Healthy debate is encouraged, but participants agree not resort to personal attacks, and do not belittle someone else's argument. Instead of making it personal, participants agree to use rational, persuasive skills to make a point or criticize another’s.

What kind of post falls under these rules? I've seen fairly rude posts here that weren't moderated.

Use the report function. Rudeness per se isn't a violation, and it's not clear cut when posts are merely "not nice". But reporting helps. The most egregious ones are removed quickly, though.

Okay, thank you.
