Yes exactly Vanessa, I actually don't even think we have a problem with cliques on here atm, I think people have their own groups of people that they get on better with (which happens in all walks of life) but it's nothing now like it was a couple of years back with cliques. I think people are generally pretty friendly here



Yeah, some people like to use any excuse to have a pop at the Moderators, it's a tough life for a Mod Lucas :'(

Exactly. I feel i can chat to most people in here without any problems. I do think the mods in here do a brilliant job. It can't be an easy job sometimes! :hugesmile:

I think the whole 'friends of moderators never get infracted etc' is a silly comment.

It really isn't easy sometimes being a mod, even if it looks it.

It's not a perfect forum, but we're not perfect people. I say "we're", but I'm obviously talking about everyone other than me.

Who is the group of vile little losers? Name and shame.

Im not sure where you got that idea from im not even criticising anyone that didnt help. Infact im not sure what you are saying at all.
But whatever it was that offended you in that post wasnt intended to offend you.

I think you're a great poster anyway. I always look forward to reading your opinion on things. :)

So are you saying that people can only be friends with eachother if they ass lick? I don't understand what you're implying there

No Niamh,lol, I'm really not it's just I guess some people seem to try too hard.

That said, maybe they think Im a weirdo or something and just humour me :suspect:

I know it wasn't aimed at me, and I took no personal offence. It just didn't sit comfortably with me that most people on here were trying to help you one week, then the following week you're criticising people on the forum.

I didn't realise you had particular trouble with a clique, as the only person I see you consistently arguing with, is Alex.

I suppose so but that's just different personalities isn't it? That happens in r/l too not just this forum
