1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I can’t even fathom who would suggest anyone is obligated to do anything around here. But if you’re having a private message tiff with another member, or someone is being a general abusive ass to you, report them to the Mods. I’m here nearly every day, save for the year and a half or so hiatus I took, but I would say that’s more than I’d expect of anyone else. This should be fun, not work.
