I have never reported a thread & can handle my own battles... IF allowed to do so. However, when others use the repost button & get the results that they want from Mgt. It is then Mgt. that handcuffs & "muzzles" one side over the other. So, after a few years of reporting nothing, I then turned the tables on those who go crying to Mommy.
I think this Mgt. would prefer that the Report Button be used instead of handling matters one on one or one vs however many.
So... the Report Button can be your friend as can the Ignore Feature.
The governing mentality here is dictated by the Science Guys. I think it was The Science Guys & those who follow them who have run off The Pros.
Most Pros do not want to talk about the why, they rather only care about the How To. We are NOT robots. We are BIO-mechanical entities.
Hence there are ways & means, by which we DO things & some if not most require a certain mind set.
imHo... thinking scientifically limits the reaching of ones potential.
Most Pros "know" that DOING this yields this... & they do not care about what the Scientific Principles are that actually yields what.
It is DO this... or think this when doing that.
In another words... just get it done... or in a single word... Execute.
They do not want to be bothered with being told that what they said is incorrect & that it is instead ONLY xyz that yields abc.
Best Wishes to ALL.
