Question. Is the rest of TSR as, um, shall we say in the same vein as Titch? Because I wouldn't mind hanging around a student forum, but not if I have to constantly bite my [STRIKE]tounge[/STRIKE] typing finger. Or does TSR not have the "be nice to everyone" policy that exists here?
Okay I probably shouldn't have looked for their posts, that was my fault. But jeezlouise! talk about complicated.

No, but there are a lot of, frankly, idiots on TSR. It is populated by quite a large percentage of school-age pupils who think they know everything about everything. There is quite a lot of university (and course) snobbery, too. There are quite a lot of really, really good posters though.

As the ex-mod, I'll give my insight.

You have a small amount of posters who actually know what they're on about.

You have another group that sort of know, but actually have no clue.

The you have a larger group of complete !!!!!!. I left because the supermods wouldn't allow me to deal with those people properly, and have the chance to maybe remove them from the forum to make things better for everyone. Apparently quantity is better than quality. I'm yet to be convinced of this.

I did go to one of their moderators meets last month. Majority are Oxbridge, and I'm more University of Life. A fair few of them couldn't take the harsh reality of proper life, and I upset a fair few of them. At the same time, there were a few who I did enjoy the company of.
