I have noticed this somewhat worrying thing

no no no. No more. Let this end now. I don't wish for this to continue
Ok, just end this then. But I still wanted this forum to be about a certain interpretation of the ToS. Still, it resulted in a fight...

I give evidence only to mods as they said about report option. That's why i ignore "trolls" in the forums and i block them.... i don't waste my energy to give them reply.... have a good day !
@MrBongcloud
Well, just read comment #32
I didn't start it again. Moderator already wrote on this thread if you have problem with someone or you think something is wrong, just use report option but after this post by a mod on this thread komokid again started argue by his comments.

Take care, have a peaceful thread.... bye 👋
You already told that. All I'm saying is that I'm going to conclude the forum here because enough has happened just within the last 12 hours.
I have always tried to avoid criticising mods, because I respect the fact that they are volunteers who are helping make the site a better place, as well as the fact that they tend to do a pretty damn good job, but I feel I have to say something about this. No disrespect is intended to any of the moderators or administrators of this site.

I take issue with post number 11 by @anonmod . I know for a fact that, over the past month or so, people have been reporting various threads relating to the "unnecessary drama" and whatnot on this site. Users on both "sides" have stated as much. And yet, there has been little action by moderators except to close threads-- which inevitably causes the drama to move to another thread, rather than end it. It makes the problem worse, as entirely unrelated threads with potential for good discussion get closed because of people calling each other names based on unrelated grievances (most noteworthy examples of this being drbeco's proposal to implement an age-restricted forum and my request that people stop making "this topic is closed" posts). Of course people are going to try and voice their opinions publicly if they feel that their concerns are being ignored. People want to have institutions that they feel protect them; if they feel the moderators are not doing a sufficient job at protecting them from being flamed, then they will develop their own methods, such as retaliatory flaming and the formation of groups to try and discredit the other party. Unfortunately, the end result is that the forums are becoming unusable now.
