So KonamiCode and TessaA think it's right that they deal with a so called troll themselves. A poster has a photo on his profile where he has an erection and also a photo of his (alleged) girlfriend. Now, I don't think it's appropriate to have such a photo on a profile either, but why these two feel the need to take it upon themselves to berate and belittle someone who has such a picture, I don't know. All they needed to do was to bring it to the attention of Admin. But no, as they are two of the 'untouchables' they feel it necessary that THEY should act as admin and try to deal with it in the open chat. When I challenged them as to why they felt the need to deal with it, all they could say was that it was everyone's responsibility to deal with it. I disagree... It is our responsibility to highlight it only - otherwise we are undermining the role of the Admin. Again, it's another example of the linch mob mentality in this chat that drives people away. It's bullying - clear and pure bullying. I have been on the receiving end of some bullying on here and it's not nice. Once one starts, others join in. In my opinion, there should be an Admin presence in here at all times to stamp on this kind of activity - and to deal with so called trolls themselves, not allow a vigilante group to take over!
