Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I think this is an overall great idea and a good way to stop a lot of the issues going on from my thread. No information lost, and hopefully less need to shut down threads. I'm excited to see how this turns out! Kudos to the OP!

USE THE REPORT BUTTON INSTEAD OF MESSAGING A MODERATOR!

It's a good idea within reason. I have continuing worries about context, and in particular what some people see as bullying and others see as pure disagreement. Increasingly, and seemingly out of nowhere, there have been a number of accusations of bullying where it seems clear to me that there is a genuine difference of opinion. I would hate to see debate and disagreement (when not in the form of attack) quashed because a mod isn't able to be around to see the nuances of such exchanges. We all know there are those who have publicly declared their love of the "Report" button and stated that they will use it as much as they like, thankyouverymuch. I'm concerned that the loudest shouters will get their opponents shut out, and that threads will degenerate into one-sided discussions.

As this tool is used I am certainly open to revising the rules of its sue if needed. We can see how it goes and if it has a benefit to the site :).

It's all very well if someone is posting and continually and obviously violating the TOS then yes, I agree that keeping the thread open for others to enjoy and excluding the disruptive element from both sides of the argument is a more positive way to go. However, when it's used to stop one person engaged in polite disagreement with the OP or another poster in that thread then it's biased and heavy-handed moderation in the same way that thread locks have been.

Some people seem to feel that even respectful disagreement with their point of view is ruining their enjoyment of the site and they are all too quick to cry about being picked on or press the report button. I have seen this attitude many times of late. If you are that thin-skinned that you can't accept an alternate point of view then you really shouldn't be posting on an internet forum.

As I am in a group who is neither feeling bullied nor of the group accused of bullying, and a member of the UK forum and having read a goodly portion of the threads in question, I feel I am qualified to offer a reasonable opinion: I have to say that I think BOTH sides have responded in ways which were not very nice to the other, and all parties are guilty of escalating the "discussions".

Also, Maven, the fact that I actually feel a little nervous about disagreeing with you (and others) on the forums should be a bit telling about how the tone of your responses make people feel.

Heather, I don't mean to scare you or anyone! I'm actually pretty nice (or so my minions tell me after I'm done whipping them for insubordination). I wasn't referring only to the UK forum when I wrote that -- I was thinking as well of a thread I read this afternoon in the CR1/IR1 forum, and some of the OT craziness recently. It applies equally to "legacy members" and new members alike. I try to keep my head down when it comes to reporting -- only clear TOS violations I think should be reported.

Oh man, now I feel bad. :(
