Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

No, though I'm still fairly new. All my posts so far have to be approved by a moderator, which is a little annoying, but I also understand they want to make sure I'm not a douche.
If you have a problem with one of us we're just people like you who struggle through life and dedicate our free time to this forum. For free might I add

Well if someone is known to have an issue amongst Mods, one could infer that they might receive harsher or unnecessary violations than others that don't voice their concerns with Mods. So yes, retaliation. Unfairly discriminatory.
Why is it "complaining or moaning"? Doesn't it depend on the each individual issue? I don't think it matters if you've been here a day or a year; if a concern has merit it's valid. I thought we were granted such rights when we signed up. No reservation necessary.Maybe an unpopular opinion here but I don't think we reserve the right to complain and moan about how things are run when we've only been here a minute, from the comfort of our bed, having contributed little to none to the community
no, I don't think one could infer that.
Who is "complaining or moaning"? It's a question.Maybe an unpopular opinion here but I don't think we reserve the right to complain and moan about how things are run when we've only been here a minute, from the comfort of our bed, having contributed little to none to the community
The thing is you don't have to be a dick to have an issue with a Mod? That's an issue in and of itself.
I just happened to see another unnecessary, condescending, hypocritical and unprofessional comment of yours before you decided to pull rank on thread and pull the plug on it, but not adding in a snarky comment to fuel the fire you were supposedly trying to extinguish. I just don't appreciate Mods like that and wondered if anyone experienced any kind of issues.
To everyone whose experience has been pleasant and fair, good to know.
This comment seems uncalled for and inflammatory. I don't see why asking your peers if they've experienced or have come across an issue with a Mod has to viewed as uncivil? I think that says more about the commenter as it's the comments that create the fire. Haven't had an issue? Great. Move onto the next post. As you were...
If I didn't know any better I would say you've been moaning since the moment you got here. And no dear, afaik, we are not granted such rights when we signed up. It's a privilege that we are given such a platform and a courtesy for you to be grateful and voice your concerns, if any, in a civil manner with a substantial evidence attached directly to the mods and to let them make a judgemental call and do the job they've been doing long before you got here. Yes, way longer than few months, surprise surprise. :)
Well like I said, not everyone will feel comfortable enough to voice what they really feel or have seen/experienced etc, so to me, that's not evidence. Nor would it be evidence if the comments were flooded with discrepancies. It was an individualized question to people who dared to share a concern. Retribution isn't constructive, and people here deal with enough than to feel undue pressure from destructive comments.
I did. I think one this one I was referred to someone else. I don't recall. My issue wasn't dealt with properly so now I carry a target unfortunately.
As it was meant to be constructive I thought it reasonable to with "Suggestions and Ideas" because I thought more would be considered and addressed depending on the posts, but I see your point.
What exactly do you mean by target, do you mean you're being deliberately singled out?
"Dear," I've had your comments ignored for some time, as I never agree with them and find them to be contradicting and of no value to me; and as such don't want to come across them so I don't know why I'm even alerted or able to see this unfortunately...
I am speaking for myself now, but I am a simple person, with my own struggles, with my own demons. I think the difficult nature of our lives reunited us here.
