Very unprofessional. There are favourite members on this forum where a clear bias is given to them by the staff there. If you are not a favoured member or worse offend a favoured member. Admin will treat you how they want, breaking their own rules. They say you will always be told why you have been moderated and kept informed. Absolute rubbish. They will restrict, ban or take any other action they want with no communication and often no sufficient justification, and no chance to resolve it. Then you are locked out of the forum, your account is still there and you cannot defend yourself or do anything about it.
I don't think the site should be closed down, but some of the admin need to go. Their attitude is appalling. They are dealing with mentally unstable people on this site. They don't seem to care that their actions could push someone over the edge, by isolating the person from the rest of the forum when they perhaps need it most. It is a power trip for some of them. I only wish there were more mental health forums out there. Then people would not have to put up with the pathetic behaviour of the staff on this one. The lack of compassion is staggering.
Many nice members there. They will however defend staff as they truly cannot comprehend the juvenile, nasty behaviour until they find it aimed at them. But when it does happen to you, you will no longer be able to post or say anything about it anyway. A lot of people also unfortunately suck up to the favoured members to keep themselves in a good position on the forum. Understandable but sickening that this is the environment admin have created there.
This site Admin should definitely be investigated. They are in a powerful position and are abusing it
