People don't change. That has been mentioned before. They cannot be "forced" to behave as we expect.
But they can "learn".

From my experiences as moderator in a German computer forum with about 85.000 active members (>= 1 post in the last six months I think) the only way is to teach the members.
What we have is well over 20 moderators and three administrators. No single "sub forum" is without moderation.
We have strict rules and are doing the best we can to enforce them. Well... not really to "enforce" them but to tell people what is wrong with the posts.
The forum software has a built in system to give warnings or simple advices if a moderator decides that a post is against our rules. If the number of warnings excesses a threshold the member is banned for some days to rethink his behaviour or the way he posts.
Many members are reporting posts who are not fitting our rules.

Over the last four years we have seen an increase of "quality" in the posts of members who initially were posting crap (many members are still not able to post in a acceptable way of course).

We are also getting a lot of negative criticism for our strict rules. But we can proudly say to have one of the best forums in Germany concerning the behaviour of members and concerning the quality of posts.

So if a forum (as QtCentre) reaches a certain size, there is no way around good moderation.
Addons for vBulletin software are available to warn members.
Members have to be told how they shall post. Improving some of the members is worth the effort.
