Seeking to participate is fine - participation is the life blood of the board.  Making posts that don’t add value to threads simply to participate does nothing for the rest of the community and only does something for yourself.

You received the “attitude” you did because you weren’t the first person that had posted that link which was found to be false literally weeks ago.  Weeks ago.  If you take a step back and actually consider that, it might change your perspective on things.

I took a long break from this forum recently because I got tired of the attitudes of a small minority that try to act smarter than the group and do it in a way that is highly condescending.  So I understand that perspective - I just think it’s misguided here because the response you received was the direct result of something you did that was wrong.  It wasn’t a case of you posting a thread about a player you think the staff should look at and then watching the know-it-all posts roll in questioning your intelligence.  Or question a decision by the staff and seeing the same thing.  That’s a personal attack (attack might be a strong word) based solely on you trying to participate in a constructive manner.  And that’s the type of behavior that really detracts from the board.  What happened with you imo is a direct result of your own actions, or in the case of not reading threads you’re participating in, lack of action.
