I have been in this forum for quiet a while i have been seen this happening again and again. Just because you belong to higher rank doesn't mean that you can call posts that's put up junior members and newbies as shit. The reason we have this rank means that we are still learning and getting better. You have to teach us and not abuse us. I have seen other legendary members explain stuff in a way i understand but this is uncalled for. More than anything there has to be equality in the forum and we will have to treat everyone in the same way. Moderators have to look at this guy and ban him instantly. He not abused me by calling my post shit but he also racially abused me.
Did you really need to start a new thread for this? You could have just reported the posts in question if you believed they broke the rules and/or put the poster concerned on ignore.
Also, you should have linked to the posts in question. A more descriptive thread title would have helped, too.
While "lurk more" sounds archaic in 2018, it's obvious that you're not aware of the forum's culture of free speech or you wouldn't be appealing to authority because someone hurt your feelings.
Whether it's your intention to farm merits by posting in Meta or not, Meta does seem to be full of unnecessary, low quality threads at the moment. "Why is this thread even here" is not an unreasonable question to ask of most of them. Many are repetitious and add nothing of value. They just clutter Meta and it does appear to observers that they've been started in the hope of the OP being "noticed".
Your particular thread opened with an OP which made a declaration about the "problem" of members selling accounts without providing any evidence whatsoever that it *is* a problem, then you got into slapfights with a couple of posters who expressed the opinion that your thread had no value and just contributed to the problem of low quality content.
We don't "have to" teach you at all. Whether people feel it's worth putting energy into newbies or not is an entirely personal decision.
There doesn't "have to" be equality in the forum. It might be what you'd prefer. It might be what most people would prefer, but this isn't a democracy and neither your preferences nor mine forge the rules.
Moderators do not "have to" ban anyone. Your insistence that they do, when added to your other "have to"s, just comes across as an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.
