This is exactly the type of post that causes discord in my view. On the one hand you're commending the mods for the "positivity" of the forum yet on the other are suggesting that your perception of others being *hurt* requires you to speak up (polite police) against this crime. How about the feelings or hurt of the people you speak up against? They deserve admonishment from those who see themselves as being without any faults? Why not just report any post that breaks a rule or offer some thought of one's own instead of overstepping the mod, who as you said, does a great job without our help. I don't think anyone knows anyone else's intent. One cannot read a tone into a text unless one puts it there. I don't know why some feel it is necessary to speak up when the little triangle can be pushed and the moderator can fairly and competently use her real power to decide the fate. If one really cares about the YT community they should leave the police tasks to the authorities and only report crimes (broken rules) rather than nuisances (not enjoying someone's posting style).
