I'm disappointed to have to make this post but I want to be clear with everyone.
Abuse towards moderators will never be tolerated on AutismForums.
Unfortunately, today we have had to permanently ban a member who was being highly abusive towards one of the moderators in a conversation with the whole moderator team. This is despite the moderator trying to de-escalate, understand the situation and help this user.
The moderators of this site work incredibly hard trying to keep AutismForums the best possible place for everyone not only to have fun but also get help and support. There is a fine line that the moderators try to balance in allowing everyone as much freedom on this site while also preventing inappropriate content/behaviour and chaos. Not everyone will agree with every decision but that doesn't mean it is acceptable to be abusive towards them.
