It is a bit shocking really to cut off a online community at this time especially, it might be the only contact some shielded people have with people

This is the big concern and I feel sorry for those who have suddenly lost the one bit of contact that have with others.

Sadly, there was one particular poster with more than one AE who was reporting every post that they didn't agree with and causing huge problems for the mods.  Ban one AE and another was added.  That person should be seriously ashamed of the harm that they have caused to a small number of people who it was clear relied on the forum.

I put two particular posters on ignore, I believe they were one of the same posters using different names, but couldn't prove it, obviously I didn't respond to them, so they decide to report every one of my posts as 'spam', how childish can you get.

I didn't realise that, I thought they would have put 'discussion board' closed.

That was happening in the Arms as well, posts getting marked as Spam, it could come down to one pratt who could not fit in  getting the thing shut down

It is done out of spite, but I assume the team can see the reporters and suss out its a malicious reporting, then ban the reporter rather than the reported.   It would make people think twice reporting posters purely on the grounds they don't agree with them or angry because they have been put on ignore.

I didn't see the 'big notice' - that's because I used U Block Origin to hide some of the c r 4 p surrounding the board ...
