Ineffective as in -there's still societal conflict even amongst those who follow it, as there was before someone decided that it might make christ sound smart if he'd said it. It;s simply not in the same class as things like civil law.
What's incompatible with the rule? If a person wants to be forced or done violence to then forcing them or doing violence to them is perfectly within the remit of the golden rule. Not just the remit, the golden rule explicitly tells them to do violence -to you-. The trouble with the golden rule is that it assumes normative cultures and individuals...it cannot cope with sadism or masochism or a warrior culture, for example - things that modern law has no problem addressing. Doesn;t matter whether or not you want to die in glorious battle to gain entrance to valhalla...you can't, on that basis - the basis of the golden rules provisions - attack me.
It appears as though people who -do- believe that a sky fairy is watching break the rule about as often as people who don;t believe that a sky fairy is watching follow the rule.
I'd prefer the third option, those who follow our better developed and better thought out laws. I;m already surrounded by golden rulers, obviously it's not enough, the prison is full of them.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
