    you know what seems very odd to me? the fact that people come here to post problems, and gain advice - there in, it being a very therapeutic environment. however the people "appointed" as moderators berate the posters for using "text speak" and show absolutely no empathy or compassion to the persons problem. if these moderators had any sense of counselling, psychology, or any aspect that concerns people they would understand that everyone voices their problems in their own language, be that cultural variations or otherwise. its basically idiosyncratic.
    i find it very very irritating that is kind of power tripping is allowed here. if i'm being very honest, i think these moderators should have no impart on how people voice their concerns.

    the bottom line is - is this a site for people to talk, share worries and concerns etc, or is it a site for people to exert their "power"

    also to the OP, age matters when concerned with legalities of the aspect, but not when considering the individuals maturity level. best of luck. i feel embarrassed for all moderators here.

    Guys look, I appreciate you are all new here, but there is a correct procedure for complaining re: moderation etc.

    Textspeak is not allowed on this site, it is difficult to read, and if the OP wants advice, solutions or assistance, they will have to communicate their problem to us, and a lot of people on this site will just not read textspeak.

    Arguing with moderation is not allowed as the OP does not want to read 3 pages of over and back arguing with no relation to their issue.

    If you have an issue and feel moderators are 'powertripping', use the Feedback or Helpdesk forums.

    Otherwise, if you cannot assist the OP, please do not post.

    Thank you.
