I've said it before and no doubt I'll say it again, this forum really could do with more active moderation. Temporary bans, expulsions and warnings would only be necessary very rarely once started. Especially if publicised to make it clear to all users what is and what isn't tolerable behaviour.

This place has considerably less blatant trolling than other forums, the badness is because people have known each other for years on here and elsewhere and the bitchyness has been allowed to fester. So little digs are constantly made from all sides to wind people up more and more.

tldr - mods, please stick your boot in
