I believe I did mention that it would simply make a lot more work for the mods, hence not a good idea.
I could find the post(s), assuming they aren't in the dungeon.

I'm pretty involved in L&D lately and I've never heard of an agenda for report spamming. I can tell you that honestly. Recently, we were encouraged to report problem behaviours with groomers etc., but I don't know of anyone who has seen that type of behaviour or reported anything since. I think a lot of people might feel paranoid about the topic especially now that we have this thread but really, the rules haven't changed and I don't know of anything that's happening out of the ordinary.
Another point I'd make though, is that the misogyny or misandry (sexism - including transphobia and homophobia) which was mentioned by the OP in this thread doesn't just happen in L&D when it happens. It's often in News because of stats that are published about marriage or dating. It's sometimes in The Haven even though we can't respond to those posts the same way we might in L&D. Sometimes it's in PPR, as we saw last summer with R v Wade. It's everywhere, when it does happen. It's not like it's only contained in L&D. Also, some people have said they checked out L&D and it looked OK going by thread titles, but unless you read every post in every thread we can't tell just by glancing at the titles or guessing what's inside.

I report every single one of my posts just to check if anyone else has.
Doesn't that make us a coalition?
I guess it does.

I wasn't referring to L&D.
It was publically stated elsewhere.
But the strategy does exist.
It doesn't take that much effort, just a lot of hate.
I have no doubt that there are people reviewing every single post I make to find something they can complain about.
I wouldn't be the only one.
You may have noticed that I do get followed from forum to forum.

Honestly -- I haven't noticed that.
I don't see anyone following you except for your interactions with Rexi.
I've had my share of trolls lately and over the years but I'm not feeling it now or recently.
It feels like WP got a lot of the bad energy out of its system somehow and things are calming down.
That's my take anyway.

No need to say this.
I posted the same after you did.

No, I went from being a young boy to being a geezer, nothing in between.

Apart from Boo ( ), most of us are human beings from the planet Earth. Men aren't from Mars; women aren't from Venus. We are people who aren't really that different from each other. Being lonely is difficult - I know something about that, but we can't blame other people for it. We can rant and complain about our loneliness in The Haven. However, it crosses a line when people make bitter posts about the "opposite" sex or when people dismiss the struggles of other genders.
Having "testosterone" is not a valid excuse for misogynistic ranting (or other forms of crummy behavior). If I feel like a post crosses a line, I will continue to report it. If it's not deemed problematic, nothing will be done about my report. People only need to worry about reporting if they are writing problematic posts/threads.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by report spamming. A post can only be reported once so no spamming can be done on a single post.
Do you mean some of a members posts are reported by a 'coalition' who target posts regardless of content?
I don't really see this as an issue except as you say - more work for the mods.
Seeing as no one knows if any of their posts has been reported or just spotted by a mod it's not something worth living in your head rent-free.
I'll get back to you on that, or we could discuss it by email.

I report every single one of my posts just to check if anyone else has.
Doesn't EVERYONE do that due to rampant paranoia?

I'm pretty involved in L&D lately and I've never heard of an agenda for report spamming. I can tell you that honestly. Recently, we were encouraged to report problem behaviours with groomers etc., but I don't know of anyone who has seen that type of behaviour or reported anything since. I think a lot of people might feel paranoid about the topic especially now that we have this thread but really, the rules haven't changed and I don't know of anything that's happening out of the ordinary.
Another point I'd make though, is that the misogyny or misandry (sexism - including transphobia and homophobia) which was mentioned by the OP in this thread doesn't just happen in L&D when it happens. It's often in News because of stats that are published about marriage or dating. It's sometimes in The Haven even though we can't respond to those posts the same way we might in L&D. Sometimes it's in PPR, as we saw last summer with R v Wade. It's everywhere, when it does happen. It's not like it's only contained in L&D. Also, some people have said they checked out L&D and it looked OK going by thread titles, but unless you read every post in every thread we can't tell just by glancing at the titles or guessing what's inside.
Is it the same group of members doing this? On the topic of Roe v Wade, I'd imagine it might come from some conservative members like AngelRho.

There are definite cliques, yes.
