I find it childish to be honest.


I do not think I ever belonged to a clique to be honest.

As was shown previously, I do not know completely what the moderators are doing or what actual procedure is, but it would be nice to have more moderators. There is one Activism thread that makes a moderator look like a hypocrite when there is a great chance they just missed the second time around. At least that is what I think. There's what, five or six moderators for the entire site? Are there shifts or something, because that seems like just too few for the amount of threads/posts to go through. This could just be naivete again though...

The moderators don't see everything. If you think there's something needs looking at, you should let us know via the moderator attention thread.

Yeah that.

There are 40-50 year old people in that group who should have learned to grow up by now. How they're acting isn't doing their argument any good. Or maybe they're acting this way because their social circle is indeed closed.

Agreed. They're not being non-cliqueish. They're being sarcastic.

Just a clarification: By "that group," what exactly are you referring to?

The adult issues chatty posters.

*shrugs shoulders* It isnt me who's making it an "us vs them" thing, it's them themselves with the behavior in response to all this.

I hope Alex doesn't make a adult chit chat forum cause they don't deserve one at the rate they're going.

I like a lot of the people doing it, but I also think they need to grow up and stop doing it. Like someone said: Sarcasm/taking the piss.

It's actually quite nasty.

Sometimes these topics come to a point when they become unintelligible. Merriment is warranted.

Thanks, Vig. :D :lol:
