the dogpiling is one of the things that mostly scares\annoys\keeps me from writing in the forum to begin with.
it starts with stuff like these endless quotes, where tens of users quote the exact same post over and over until that stuff had to get "semi-banned" (old user here, i think it's different now with the new quote system, idk if my words make sense rn)
and now it moved into this .... yeah, aggression thing. as can be seen with the stuff batcrooks said. it's honestly made FR into such a hostile community and I don't even want to partake in it anymore
