It appears that you may have completely mis-interpreted my second post, and I stand by everything I said in my first post given that it is a bald statement of fact. There are indeed 'vigilantes' (albeit operating within the rules of the forum), and they sometimes don't do themselves any favours in the way that they can come across to other members.
I think that you probably intended your comment to be well-meaning and/or instructional, but in my personal opinion the use of name-calling in the first paragraph and an apparently condescending tone to your second paragraph unfortunately renders it otherwise.
I respect the fact that we are each entitled to express our opinions, but I politely request that we each do so with courtesy and civility towards each other. Friction is all so unnecessary.
What you fail to realise (or at least it appears so) is that these other members, the type that complain about forum police or suchlike, often have an ulterior motive, and more often than not end up banned.
Challenging posts and members that are at odds with the culture and ethos of this forum (often in a robust manner) is simply how the site works, and more importantly is one of the main reasons that UKP remains relevant and successful.
What I struggle to understand, is why members such as yourself, who have ample opportunity to learn about the site before becoming a member, choose to sign up and then want to change things and inevitably complain because the culture here isn't quite how you would like it to be. In other words, the problem isn't with the site, it isn't with Courtney (who has measurable success in helping admin identify problem members) it's actually you that's the problem.
Friction is often quite necessary in dealing with malcontents, of which there are many. The banned section of the site, of which I realise you may not have access, demonstrates this and it grows by the day. Any member with access can view the posts of banned members and see the relevance of the points I have made.
Your sneery tone, and your choice of user nic makes me wonder about your intentions
