Well I don't know that trolls would actually pay to use a site like this so that's the element you would lose, hopefully.

I think people who are used to particpating in unmoderated/abusive sites like Intensity or zomg tend to bring that attitude here, as though it were an unmoderated site. Lately it seems very unmoderated.

Look, many people who come here may not be able to spare money to subscribe to this site! Many who need to be here will miss out!

And I am getting sick and tired of your implications that we are not doing our job! We rely on self-reporting, Postperson. In other words, if you have a problem, notify us by PM. But no, all you do is whinge about how we should be doing our jobs.

Well that seems absolutely absurd to me since you, a mod, are particpating in the thread yourself. The personal abuse from these trolls in this thread is unacceptable. Yet you do nothing about it. This is the mature forum and yet it is I who have to remind people of that. Please don't think I find this 'stalking' behaviour from the face and kalister amusing. I don't.

Is there another moderator I should contact, since you don't seem to have any neutrality in this matter.

I'm being neutral, or rather, being equal-opportunities. Basically, I go after all parties who are bagging each other, and it means you, Kalister1, and The_Face are all on notice.

And what happens when the mods and developer don't do anything when PMed concerning a groundless personal attack?

See my response elsewhere. You are wasting my time over a misconception that should be cleared up between yourself and Alex.

As I say, we PMed in order to clear up this "misconception", and I got the impression he was over it. Then the public personal attack. That's when the mods are supposed to step in . . . right?

He's a mod as well as an admin, he should step in to clean up his own mess. I've already PMed him about it, I can't do much else.

You've already said what you have had to say, now quit feeding into the problem.

Well that's the whole point of trolling.

There's a lot of it going on here at the moment.
