If you see any instances of sniping or anything that you feel violates the forum rules and regulations hit the report button.Us admins receive those reports via email,and they get taken care of quickly.




Indeed they do - I've never had a problem with someone else on this forum, whereas on other forums, you'll be abused nearly daily...

This is probably the best-run forum I've ever been on, and I can't think of a member who goes out of his/her way to snipe/flame/troll others.

We'll agree to disagree onthe first point. Both experienced and witnessed to the second. On the next occasion I encounter sniping,  I'll try to be specific without playing into the sniper's hands.

I don't think that sniping is a problem on this site. Do you have any specific complaints? No need to point the finger, but your post does seem a bit vague.
 
I take it that you have a genuine complaint, but I suppose it's also possible that you feel either personally vicitmised or have witnessed exchanges that make you feel uncomfortable?

My main reason for visiting this site is for discussions or information on progressive rock. I do not like sniping (on myself or others) and feel that it can blight an otherwise superior site. We all have our moments, but it seems there are those who frequent the site for no other purpose than to score points. They contribute nothing. The last time I commented on this topic, I was told I was too vague, but to analyse individual examples is to play into these people's hands. Rule 4 is No sniping and the details tell us not to engage that member; so should not clear examples be deleted in the same way that other less innocuous postings are swiftly removed? It is not reasonable to avoid contributing for fear of being sneered at from a concealed position. On this basis, people with something to add on progressive rock do not do so and the timewasters proliferate.
