To enforce the rules fairly they would need to time every boat that took a mooring.
I'm not going to pretend to have the solutions and even if I did I doubt it would matter. However - I don't see why the rules have to be applied fairly. If I'm pulled over for speeding I have to face the consequences. Telling the officer that other people were speeding as well has no bearing. The enforcement of the mooring balls could be completely random. Similar to speeding it's the threat that you could be caught that modifies behavior. Behavior takes a while to change - it would likely take several months before the situation gets better. And similar, failure to enforce the stated rules the situation will continue to get worse and soon the whole point of the NPT mooring balls will be lost due to bad selfish behavior that has no consequences. IMHO.
