    Do you have any positive suggestion about what should be done? Beyond, say, you being put in charge?
    I have one suggestion: Kindly ask some of the mods to step down, when they have expired their "best before" date. Replace with people who are more friendly towards the world at large, and members in particular.

    I can not believe that some of the mods can still roam free around here.

    You have such an excellent set up here, loads of friendly people, loads of people who dedicate themselves to these boards. Why let that be destroyed by a few rotten eggs wearing green?

    Shape up and admit that some of the mods are doing a less than perfect job.
    Few are born with it, even fewer know what to do with it.

    You deserved the PM you got Shibumi.

    You have a history of provocative trolling and you've been politely warned. You did not seem to get the point when it was politely made to you. As is often the case with trolls, you came to whine in public when banned, putting on a show of being the well meaning and misunderstood victim.

    Some people forget that moderators are people with full time jobs and families and we don't want to spend our days arguing with trolls trying to be internet rules lawyers. What do you say to someone who continues to post provocative trolling attempts after being politely warned? How much time out of our lives should we take to coddle unrepentant trolls?

    If you're really surprised by the reaction to your provocations then you obviously did not understand why this forum has the high reputation it does.

    Usually places with high reputation attract lots of members...

    Like how craft beers attract a lot more customers than Coors Light?
