This is becoming a regular occurrence now. People who are upset that there are posts made critical of their behavior, critical of their friends, or harboring other personal vendettas are mass reporting posts trying to get legitimate criticism removed on a regular basis. Whether complicit or not, the moderators are enabling this abusive behavior. This is just from today:

He has a different philosophy than I do
I'm not going to cut your OP to pieces here, but rather I'd like to commend you on your conclusion to agree to disagree..
You being a cop, law enforcement, government authority, held the monopoly on force and violence, while theymos is an Anarchist, I can imagine that their are many things you would disagree on..
I only recently learned of your stroke a week or 2 ago, ish..
It explained a lot to me as far as your actions, and I am truly sorry it happened to you..
#Respect and I hope that you can end your battles with your perceived enemies over your philosophical differences..
Come on eddie, you are smarter than this. This is just a pathetic ploy to elicit sympathy and deflect responsibility for his actions just like the last 3 times he did this.

it seems people woke up on abut the 3rd of January this year and said "you know what? I think I've had enough of the bickering" which has been refreshing to see.
What forum are you talking about?

Is it wise to go over it again? It is in the past whatever it might have been. Apart from what I read in this thread I am unaware of the past issues too so most of it was new to me but why should you go over it again? Forget it whatever it was.
You should consider using the IGNORE button on people that you no longer want to engage with. Simply relax and take care of your health, start work on your new venture and keep posting here too just as DireWolfM14 mentioned in an post earlier.
If you really want to know, you can PM me. Techy doesn't want the game to end, but it will. :/
He is going over it again in a pathetic attempt to elicit sympathy and deflect from his own abusive behavior. He does the same sad children's birthday party magician act every time he goes too far and is called out:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1074434.0;allhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5144112.0Vod avoids a logical and critical discussion of his ratings at all costs because he knows they won't withstand scrutiny. Unfortunately for me, ignoring Vod doesn't undo the damage he has done by abusing the trust system like toy to serve his own petty and obsessive personal vendettas.

Poor poor Vod. Everyone forget about how abusive he has been now. He won't do it again like the last 3 times he did this, he swears. Crying out in pain as he lashes out at others, as usual.

I told Theymos from the start what happened to me. The night I posted dox on the forum was one of the first times I'd "had a few" at home since the stroke. I literally went unconscious in my chair after posting that, and when I awoke in the morning I deleted the post and worked with Theymos to clean up the damage. I've never gotten drunk since - two beers at a social function is my absolute limit. This may explain why Theymos suggested forgiveness.
I'm sorry if my initial post sounded like I was joining Theymos Vader.
Again, I believe Theymos feels the good that people do can outweigh the bad. I feel the same way, but for me the "bad" does not decay and builds up. I want to forgive faster, like he does.
Very touching Vod. What about any of this excuses your continual abusive behavior?
Of course when I occasionally report one post here or there for being off topic, it almost universally remains unhandled. I really don't care if the moderators are acting with complicity or not, this issue needs to be addressed, because the more they allow it to happen, the more these people are incentivized to spam reports knowing that a certain percentage of them will be removed as moderators move through large queues.
