Is there anyone from ASC (moderators perhaps?) you can contact if harassed or insulted in the ASC forums?

Question

After reading the ASC terms, it seems they are more for show than actually enforced. If you do a google search on any user who has been rude, you can easily find endless threads of the same tone which have been left as is. Can trolling/bullying be ignored and does it comply with terms? 
In my own experience, it seems as though repeat offenders are free to carry on.  If anyone is being bullied or harassed whilst using the ASC forums, is there a way to contact the appropriate people in charge of maintaining these terms?

Answer 1

You need to be a Level 2 user before you can directly report a post as being in violation of the terms of use. Until then, posting in these forums is your best avenue.
I can assure you that the Hosts do monitor the forums, but with thousands of posts to sift through they can't read all of them, so they depend on users notifying them of problems. They also have to make judgement calls as to when a post or thread crosses the line and should be removed. Given the language and culture differences with users here from every country in the world, what can seem rude or harassing to one person may just be low language skills or a difference in how things are phrased on the part of the writer. The Hosts do the best they can to balance between allowing abuse and censoring too much.
If there is a specific post or thread that you feel is indeed abusive, post the URL in this thread and we can, as Klaus said, direct the Hosts attention to that thread. They may also contact you via email as a result of your first post, though again with thousands of posts to have to deal with they may not have time.
Regards.
