    And Admin aren't interested in the reports.  They would rather sanction the regulars.  Because they do nothing about AE, that then leads to it spilling into threads.  Never as bad as this occasion though.
    Thats why I reported under the rules. The user has alot of spam reports but that does nothing, you'll just get a generic email from the "team" saying ita not spam, which its not.

    If you report things as spam that aren't you eventually get a yellow card then a 2 week ban.

    And that is why the trolls take delight in upsetting regulars on here with the added bonus of causing trouble Like we have seen recently.
    Like a stray cat if you feed them they keep coming back.

    It's almost like the admin are complicit in this by not doing anything.

    I got sanctioned for calling a post 'daft'.  I didn't call the person daft, just the post.

    This is all due to Discussion Time being closed where they would normally hang out.

    And reporting something containing the word 'daft' when they write so much worse just shows the mentality of the trouble makers, judgemental, condescending but ultimately looking to provoke to get a response that they can report.

    I find it much better to not respond directly or quote them but to talk over them so their posts just look silly.

    The forum isn't moderated, and if the troublemakers are the only ones reporting posts, then admin only see their side and act on it adding to the troublemakers fun.  What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

    The 'daft' one was earlier in the year.  We all make daft posts from time to time.
