Wholeheartedly agree with the initial post. Some very, very touchy and power-hungry moderators on here. Used to be so much better, not quite sure where the site got it so wrong in the past 12 months or so. Now you're not allowed to rib certain members in a friendly manner and you're not allowed to post honest opinions if they don't go hand-in-hand with what a handful of other members think. Giving warnings for avoiding the swear filter I can agree with (as if genuinely does affect the forum's google rating), being banned from threads and the forum completely for jokingly taking the mick out of a certain moderator for getting his transfer rumours so unbelievably wrong, I cannot.
Sure, everybody has members they prefer - and I cannot say I genuinely dislike any member on here because we're all just online personas and if I don't like what somebody is posting I will just block them and job done, hence why I'll likely see lots of 'ignored member' posts in the next few minutes - but the level of hatred and, well, bullying, if you will, has got all a little bit too silly in recent times, lots of it coming from certain moderators on a personal vendetta against posters who aren't even breaking any rules.
