Note to the forum. I've closed the Sockpuppet and This Forum Blows thread. The latter has descended into constant fighting and insults, and has long since ceased to be constructive.
For sockpuppet speculation, you have 2 options. One, you can report the member you think is a sockpuppet by using the reporting tool on their post(s), or you can PM a moderator with your thoughts, and please, your examples of why you think this member is a sockpuppet. We want to get these reports as many of you are very good at sniffing out the returning banned members. Not always, but you're here a lot and give great coverage on this issue. Thank you for that.
On criticism. We sincerely welcome constructive criticism as a critical element to this forum's success. There have been many great improvements to the forum based on member comments and discussions. What isn't going to be allowed is un-constructive criticism in the form of insults, bickering, and baiting. Starting a thread with the title "This Forum Blows" is bound to go to a dark place, the term "blows" isn't really constructive or useful.
There is a moderator thread for issues with moderation, and if you do create a new thread, please make sure it's aimed at not just venting, but making things better. These threads will be listened to earnestly.
Think about how best you can enact change, if change is what you seek, and please draw up the message accordingly. We WELCOME this.
Thanks for your consideration.
