If 'no sniping' is a main site rule (no. 4), why are postings with sniping not removed?

Depends on what you mean by sniping. 90% of all sniping here is done in jest ... it would be a much more boring place if these posts would be removed.

You should post some links to examples (threads) so we know what exactly you mean.

4. No Sniping. If you feel that someone has (i) baited or personally attacked you through the behaviours described in 1 or 2 above (whether in a thread or in a PM), do not engage that member in that thread, or reply to the PM. Instead, immediately send a PM to a forum moderator with details of (i) which member and (ii) which thread (please give the name of the thread, not the link) - or, if a PM, copy and paste in the text of the offending PM. The moderator will then determine what action needs to be taken (if any) and will reply to you. The moderators will try to reply to such incidents within 24 hours. In the meantime, please ignore that member and do not engage them in any way.

Well, if you are under sniping do not hesitate to contact the Forum Moderators.

However, many members play with each other due to the comraderie developed here. Hence, what sometimes seems rude is in fact a play between friends.

For example, I could say Atkingani is a ponderous old fool , but since I followed it with a  - not sniping! 

However, if instead I said that Atkingani is a ponderous -hole, now that would be sniping.

Emoticons are a good way to indicate that what you are saying you are saying in jest.

They "soften" things a bit.
