OK, these server/coding issues are truly the pits. Browsing the website on my iPad is fine (images are where they're supposed to be; the reply buttons are not greyed out; etc) even though it seems very slow. On a regular computer/laptop browser everything is simply messed up (and I have tried four different browsers).
Edit: Maiko, you are right. I re-activated adblock and it seems to be alright.
I know I'm quoting myself here, but I just wanted to say that only a few hours after posting this, I already found an example of it in Gaga's fan base:
Like I said, people aren't genuinely offended by what others have to say. They just plot, play politics and go out of their way to try and get people they disagree with banned and exiled from this online community. That's sad. I think ganging up to try and kick someone out is actually far worse than saying a single flopped, when it did.
I knew someone would come in for that. Good thing I didn't post.
Yeah, though that actually is a less common thing for the Monsters than some other groups. I'm a bit report heavy lately and have been backing off but to a vast majority of ATRL, "punching someone out" is a huge game. But it is promoted here with those monthly warning threads so there isn't much to be done.

I'm not concerned with who's doing it. I'm concerned with the fact that it's being done. It seems to be so easy to get banned/get other people banned because the moderators seem to dish out warning points for pretty much every post that gets reported. Even the ones that aren't even slightly offensive. Meanwhile some genuinely vulgar stuff slips right through because no one cares to report it. And I'm not reporting it because what if the person I'm (potentially) banning enjoys the social interaction of this community, and discussing their hobbies/interests with like-minded people. I'm not going to do that to them over a few words they've written about a pop star on the internet.

I only report offensive stuff and trolls. And tbh there are far too many trolls on this website but they're allowed and get to come back every month.
Is threatening behaviour like this tolerated on ATRL?
Nice to know you're lurking the Gaga base.
Anyway, you should really cool it with the flame baiting Gaga threads and comments....you really shouldn't be appalled that people are sick of it when you do it all the time.

But I mean, you can't even say a single flopped without it getting reported. And the way the politics on this forum works seem to be that I probably have a target on my back now, because I came in here to discuss Badger, MM3 and Yzma conspiring to get tshirt banned. So if I said in another thread that one of Rihanna's single's flopped, like 'Right Now' or 'What Now,' even though I stan for Rihanna, they could report me for it and I'd end up with a warning point.
i'm having trouble changing my avi because of it
(and I have tried four different browsers).
Is that all there is to discuss in the Gaga base? Whom to get banned?
