It doesn't work that way. You may use the ignore feature. If you feel other posts violate posting rules, please use the "Report" button.

Most everyone knows that they can message me personally, for I am the lead admin here.
That being said, I'd like to remind everyone that once they start or post a thread here, it is not "owned" by the one starting it. This forum is open to all. If you feel harassment by a certain member, as said earlier, click the red report button. That will lead you to a window where you can express your concerns. I'm sure you know that by now but it's good for others to know as well.
Another thing that is good to know, is that we do respect privacy. A person who has not followed the guildelines does indeed become considered for infractions. It starts out usually a private message to inform someone that they went against the guidelines. If they continue, they get a yellow infraction, which is a formal warning. If they still continue, they get a red infraction. THREE of those will lead to a one week ban.
So you see, it's really hard to get banned. One really has to be defiant . We give that many chances in case someone REALLY does not understand that what they are doing is against policy.
ALSO: We never discussing infractions or banning outside of the moderation team and the member getting infracted.
So it may appear that the team is "doing nothing" or allowing it to continue but that may not be the case.
Just as how we don't discuss what infractions you may have.
It's respect.

I think the OP, despite having an account for almost 2 years and having nearly 1000 posts here, may not have an idea of how forums work. There's a difference between being bullied and feeling entitled to have your own way.
