Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 5507126" data-attributes="member: 99">I didn't articulate one aspect of my point very well, which is the fact that Shadzar was a fairly new poster when he popped up on the radar as being troublesome.  Because he was new we didn't immediately come down on him but rather instead pointed him toward the rules and told him that his tone was rather too confrontational and rude for the forums.  He basically said that we'd just have to get used to it.  That turns out not to be the case.With regards to these posters whom you believe to be problematic on a daily basis, are you reporting them?  I understand from your post that you PMed a mod about at least one instance.  We can't be everywhere (and frankly life right now mostly has me being nowhere) on the forums so we rely upon the community to police itself.  This is done the way policing is done in most civilized societies, not by vigilantism (though trust me, I understand the temptation) but by reporting what you see as problematic posts.The rub comes where what some see as problematic, the moderators don't.  I'm not saying you fall into this category, DP.  But there are a few posters, who are good members of the forums in other respects, that we've had to ask to stop reporting stuff because their idea of problematic posting and ours are not in synch.Anyway, if you think something is a problem then report it every time you see it.  We'll fairly quickly come to understand if somebody is a problem that has been flying under our radar.</blockquote>
