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.
