And another thing,only one mod has my number, because shes a friend in real life.....theres no way I should be rung or text on my mobile phone to be told to come onto RYL.

I cannot actually believe Im reading this.

THIS THIS THIS. Except the cell phone thing. I happen to be the only forum mod in the US. I cannot afford to call or receive calls from other countries. It's not that I hate them, but I do not have the funds and if I did, I would be unwilling to spend them on that JUST so that I could receive calls/texts from another country about a website. Basically, this is a website.

This is not real life. You have the capability to turn this off and walk away. I'm fairly certain no one on this website is actually chained to their computers.

As it is, I think the reaction time we generally have is pretty good. I've been flamed here and it was taken care of fairly shortly.

I know it's been said, but if people behaved like adults, there would be far less drama and far fewer problems here.
