I have heald the view for some time that Admin pander to ALMOST every complaint as justified and needs acting on. Sometimes to their own ends, as it's just easier for them.
It's not possible to please all the people all the time. So we have what appears to be a massively pedantic mind set thats almost un manageable. Now obviously those that are of a mind to will point to sour grapes over recent events... But that is not the case.
Initial comment...
Utter 'dangle berries'
In marginally more depth...
We once tried to make rules for everything, but quickly decided its not the way forward. If people can't work out "expected" behaviour from the guidelines, we're screwed.
This each and every complaint is dealt with individually, and I believe 99.99% of the time correctly and fairly, whatever some members may think of cliques etc.
If you, or anyone else, feels differently, I and the rest of the admins have an unlimited incoming PM box limit, use it 
as said. Nothing to do with me specifically.
We have had clamp downs on swearing, because someone moaned.
We have had clamp downs on words, like terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired. FFS grow up.
Moans about fiddling the word sensor eg Sh1t as opposed to Shit, for example.
Moans about not quite getting the dates right when welcoming newbies.
Somebody said something nasty , boo hoo.
Some even moan or pic holes because they are seen as as acquaintances of others. Well get up of your arse and get involved then!
Etc etc. a hole load of BS and caniving to achieve their own ends and non of it anything at all to do with cars. It's gone way too far IMO. Because its been allowed to.
Christ we've even had meetings about moaning. To stop people moaning.
A policy is in place, what ever it is, and it's not inforced until somebody points it out. Grass this grass that.
Fair enough, spammers need routing out. But as you say, we have pm's. Why do we need a grass button...? Sends entirely the wrong message IMO.
Obviously It's not possible to see full reasons for everything as a member
, and I'm not quite eloquent enough to put it across accurately.
But there's a side to this place that turns my stomach on occasion. ..but then on the other hand a thread or two comes along that renews faith and interest. Then progress looks like its being made.
Bit like England, lighten up, focus on something more important in life, and all of a sudden normal functionality can resume without worrying about who's got who under the microscope. Fe@k off and get a life.... sad muppets.
But as said, can't see what admin do sitting there, while I'm sitting here. So presume there's good reason, and respect those reasons. But I can also speak as I find. If that's not ok with people, sorry. But there we are!
Added appropriate smileys in case people moan it reads ... well...like I'm moaning
