With all of these abuse and complaints, does freediver even have the time to deal with it?

If available

The "Report This Post" Button sends a PM to all the appropriate Mods which would mean FD doesnt have to deal with every complaint!

Have you looked into this as a possibility FD?

Ahh but then comes the problem of alleged "moderator favouritism" which leaves that option in the open to be abused Wink

Not sure what you mean?

All reported posts could be treated in some favouritism way regardless of how they are reported.

With the report button the post is reported to all moderators and I dont believe the poster even knows who reported it and for that matter all mods have the opportunity to handle the job which is less likely to have some favouritism applied imo

Good point.

He should definitely consider getting that button, in that case.

Or, it is an optional add on for the board (unlikely, in my opinion).

no need to apologise ... I was serious.

If you can't handle the heat on a political forum (and political forums do get heated, it's the nature of politics ) and feel like you are being bullied, then step away from your computer (or join a knitting forum).

I couldn't agree more, I, personally, don't get upset about people's opinions of myself or my views, or anybody else's.
I will admit that arrogance is an annoyance, it's a fleeting irritation, much like stepping on gum or waking up to find your dog has gone to the toilet in your house.

I'm asking for the people who are getting upset, and feel the need to get upset, and go as far as leaving the forum because of it.

I imagine a knitting forum would be quite boring, though I wouldn't be surprised if people abused each other on such.

"My needle is better than yours. You're stupid and ignorant, I'm better than you." Cheesy

That place has quite the bad reputation, it seems. Probably makes this place look like a knitting club in comparison Cheesy

But as someone once told me when I first joined, "first impressions are everything." Maybe "political animal" just stays true to its name.

It's really bothering people, it seems.

It really bothers me.
I have had enough of people here answering any post of mine with abusive, destructive or offtopic trolling remarks.

Any such remarks I report in and its entirely up to freediver to decide.
If you don't like that, don't ever talk to me.

Freediver has always been quite just in the past and I am happy with his decision.

On the spiritual forum I delete posts with ease.
Those that post there constructively and genuinely there do so in safety.
