OK demien
I am assuming you are referring directly to my post on this matter.
As usual you read my post the way you wanted it to read so you could spout off with you I am the greatest attitude.
Well please go back and read my post. I referred to reporting threads NOT having the membership have the power to delete or ban members. That is strictly for the admins.
And Yes I do have the right to leave if I don't like what the board is doing That is my decision and I will make it if i please not you or the admins.
And please get over yourself with your accusations about members feeling a false sense of entitlement. You are the one who seems to lurk and drift in and make erroneous statements not I.
So please you missed the point of my statement. And yes this is the internet and I know full well that I would not be missed but neither would you.

Dude, I read and completely understood what you and papa posted. You each expressed a desire to have the 'report post' function reinstated. As far as I know, this board is not a democracy. When you or any other members read something you disagree with, you don't get to secretly whine and complain, or vote as a pack and have posts censored or deleted, or gang up on a member with unpopular views to have that member banned. That is entirely up to board management and the moderation team. If a member posts something that breaks the rules, they'll handle it. Or choose to do nothing. It's not up to you or anyone else.
The problem here is that entitled members like you feel they should have a definitive say (by using the report post function) in what is or is not considered toxic content, and what rights or lattitudes some members should be extended vs. others - like in the case of regular posters vs. lurkers.
Lurking is not a crime, and when a lurker posts an opinion that doesn't line up with yours, it doesn't automatically qualify as toxic. Too many of you snowflakes are way to easily offended, especially given this is a hooker review board and members are all anonymous.
You do however get to post your own views, comments, and opinions, and respond to others'. Again, management and moderators will decide if you do so within the rules of the board and will take appropriate action as/when required at their discretion - not yours or anyone else's. Until you learn that you are not in charge on this board, and are no more special here than anyone else, you'll likely continue to be a very unhappy camper.
IMO the report post function is nothing more than a fake feel good feature to appease those with weaker constituencies and really has no place on a well moderated, adult discussion forum.
In terms of your leaving or not, and that decision being driven by toxics and negative lurkers like me - I'd remind you of the fact that this forum has virtually zero traffic aside from a tiny, and I mean TINY! handful of regularly posting members including you! It's been this way for MONTHS. Ever stopped to think that that could be because of people like you and your posting habits? People are fed up with the overly sensitive and overly intolerant nature of some of you members. Maybe if you did leave, and take a few other snowflakes with you, this forum could return to it's former glory.
And before you point at me, I'd also remind you that I (and many like me) have posted virtually nothing in many many months, yet traffic has all but ceased to exist. If me and people like me were really the root cause problem here, shouldn't this board have thrived in our absence?
Before complaining about others, maybe you and your diva crew should take a hard look in the mirror.
