I propose-and please don't throw anything at me-a new staff. Are their problems with the users? Absolutely! Should some users be kicked off? Of course. But if the problem is also with the moderators, then they need to be replaced. I'm sure that there are moderators who haven't been accused of this, and those moderators should stay. But if there are moderators on here who are enabling these situations, they need to be replaced. I run a few sites of my own, and when a situation like this occurs, that's what we do. Now, granted, this site is a lot larger and therefore more difficult to handle, however there has to be a solution to this. Coming from someone who's been a user, a moderator, an admin, and a creator, I leave you with this: If you're having issues of this scale, then the problem lies within the staff. This goes both ways and absolutely cannot be blamed entirely on the users. That is all I have to say.

This is definitely one of the bigger issues. It's a sad day when the people who are supposed to stop this kind of thing are the ones egging it on.
