I would appreciate it if someone would finally do something about the thread located here: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=8064
It is a "~POST YOUR PIECE~ BONG-BUBBLER-VAPO" sticky thread which I am sure was meant as a general place to share some pics and welcome new folks to the forum. I myself was new not too long ago. I came here and my first post was in that thread. I was unaware that the thread was long hijacked by a group of glass afficianados. This thread is a sticky to allow any member to come, share a pic of any piece they may have (NOT JUST $$$$$ GLASS) and have fun. It is not supposed to be a place where these glass gurus bait, attack, and troll because they refuse to leave or make their own thread(s) unless they are given their own sub-forum section. And the moderator there, I believe his name is 10k, just deletes all the posts complaining about these attacks and lets it continue. Just posting a few times this afternoon I was graced with a few +rep from people afraid to speak up about it because they've had their posts deleted too! It is obvious that it is getting out of control. It's sad when dozens of posts are deleted daily because of these trolls. They think by taking over the thread they will eventually force the forum admins into creating their own section instead of having to have a glass advertiser pay for advertising in order to get it. It is complete BS.
I have been a moderator and ran numerous forums for many years. Never before have I seen such a perfect example of trolling and thread hijacking, and on top of it those who complain are having their posts deleted and its allowed to go on. Its insane. Mr. Tony and a few others are prime examples of these "trolls".
PLEASE...... Either give these guys a separate place to discuss glass (which I would not recommend, allowing this would be caving in to what they are presently trying to do by hijacking this thread) or force them to relocate to another thread. Or.... Ban them.
Perhaps they will get the hint. It is a shame it has come to this. If I were not invited here by friends I would have left in a heartbeat. I would have expected this from children on rollitup or other less professional sites.......
I'm just awestruck to why this has been allowed to continue for so long. Its mind boggling. By a moderator no less....
I anxiously await your response. Thank you very much for your time.
