A lot of these "scammers", or whatever you call them, in DT and sources are not as bad as you think they are.. Sure they have their imperfections but you have an inflated view of their negativity due to your specific personal dealings with them..
Sane person:
homophobia: bad
racism: equally as bad
Insane person:
homophobia + violence: bad
'racist' joke account + signature campaign: worst crime on the forum.
In regards to the local rule, I'm going to quote something I've posted previously that is surprisingly perfect for this topic:
The fact that you are making a thread directed to a single member (which is what PMs are for) in a board that disallows self-moderated threads, I'm gonna go with "local rules do not apply" here. If you want theymos to reply, message him directly. If he doesn't reply, tough luck but I guess he wasn't interested in responding.
Exactly, but that would defeat the entire purpose of him making these threads in the first place. He does them for attention, so if theymos ignores his PM, which he likely will, then he's just screaming into the void.
