• Doesn't that depend on the the thread? But general abuse and slanderous comments can be made. But as long as those that make the comments have a certain post count. Or when called out face to face show what spineless loudmouths they are.

    EDIT: Anyone else notice who joined this thread to blame the persona who has been deleted?

  • I hope you are wrong, for instance, I have been around on here for some time (awaits ageist joke) but hope I would be banned with no favour shown if I were offensive. Part of the trouble is that there is no face-to-face, this is the Internet.

    EDIT: I didn't.

  • One thing that I have observed is that the OGs on here, who know each other face to face, can be a bit cliquey towards others, most often without realising it. To an outsider it can, under some circumstances, feel like people ganging up. I've seen it happen a fair few times over the years. It's probably quite natural in a way, but it can feel pretty toxic on the receiving end.
