Tbh, despite all the claims that there are cliques and friendship groups that don't welcome anybody else, it's actually all bull****. If you post in the chat thread, there are always people that will chat back to you and after a few days, you're considered to be a piece of the furniture. Just have the confidence to come in and make yourself known tbh. Every single person who posts in there was new to the environment once. I guess it doesn't help that it seems that people have their own language in there, but it's in no way noninclusive.

But that's what the report button is for. Trust me, the mods are quite capable of punishing anyone they see to be out of order in there, the problem is you don't always know who has been punished for what, so it's never exactly clear. I'm not denying for one second that there are some absolute tools on this forum but you get that anywhere. It's the internet, and people are a lot braver behind a keyboard than they would be in real life.

No sorry and no offence but this is complete bollocks, which you would see if you take your chat thread tinted specs off.

The most active chat thread atm is awful for newer members which I have witnessed on many many occasions infact its even awful for some of the regular members that I have also witnessed trying to take part in there and they get ignored or sarcastic comments aimed at them.

It isn’t complete bollocks at all though. The only reason the word clique gets thrown around so much is because you’re the one who complains about it the most and some of the trolls jumped on the opportunity to be able to be annoying without any repercussions because they know that if anyone reports them or bites back for baiting, you’re likely to agree with them. There are at least three members who do exactly that that I can think of on the spot.

New members post in there all the time - RileyHollyoaks and OliverW are an example of two people who are fairly new and have come in, been friendly and chatty and enjoy posting in there. As for regular members, I don’t see how any of the comments and banter are any different from you going around and telling people to ‘piss off’ or any of the other sarcastic comments you come out with. If people have a problem with something somebody says, then they should be able to say it, but the problem is confronting someone about something on here tends to result in infractions and banning anyway. There is a LOT of banter amongst the large number of people who post in there regularly, and apart from when Scott has had a red stripe, that’s normally exactly what it is, BANTER.

Tbh yesterday there was a post which mentioned cliques and literally said "Josy agrees with us" like Taylor Swift waving a banner with her review from Rolling Stone magazine.

From what I've seen the new members post in there more frequently than the "regulars" you speak of (and you've made it quite clear who you're referring to).

Plus, all I've seen in this thread are awfully rude comments aimed at the regulars so it's not exactly helping the situation, is it?

Ashley how can it be clear who im referring to? That comment wasnt made with any particular member in mind the fact is some members do get ignored on the odd occasion they post in the chat threads, ive not only witnessed this happen but other members have said its happened to them...

It's clear who you're referring to just from observing your general attitude towards them.

If I want to reply to a post then I will, and I'm sure that's the same with anybody else... but if someone is starting up a discussion about a television show I don't watch, or something I cannot relate to, I generally won't involve myself in that discussion, whether they're a regular poster or just posting on the odd occasion. If someone posts something and is ignored, I personally don't see it as a massive issue - nobody is under any obligation to reply to every single post they see. Alternatively if a poster was to directly start a discussion with somebody in particular, it's very, very rare that they'd be ignored by them for no reason.
