I just read that thread and noticed it was closed also.
I was actually heartened to read that there are more than just a couple of us that have noticed and been a target of the
'bully clique' ....and were willing to speak out about it.
In my short time here, it is quite apparent that some people think that their unnaturally high post count...somehow makes them special.
And not trying to criticize the mods/admins, but it is obvious that these same high post people are given a LOT more leeway to personally attack those they don't like.
Having been a mod on another site myself, I am very familiar with how hard it is to do a basically thankless job...without letting your own personal feelings sometimes affect how you treat threads/complaints.
All in all, I think the mods do a great job here but I would just ask them to every so often start looking at who are doing the most reporting of posts...and realize their real agenda for doing so.
As a mod, I once told a poster that seemed to report every post he just didn't like that if he kept it up...HE would get a 24 hour ban.
After about 4 or 5 of those...his whining stopped.
There's no doubt there are some real cyber-bullies here in a clique, that quickly gang up on a target and I would just ask that management recognize this....and do a little more to control the bullies so that others aren't scared off in participating in threads.
