It's always amazing to me how thousands and thousands of members can post here daily and not even come close to even receiving a warning, much less formal discipline.
And then there are a few--a very, very few--members who just can't seem to help but repeatedly cross the line.
No one is stopping anyone from airing frustrations with moderation. However, there are designated channels to do so. In public on FlyerTalk is not one of them. In private via private message to the moderators themselves or the Community Director is. It's not that hard.
BTW, "nick" is short for "nickname," which in this context means "username." On FT, most people seem to prefer to use the word "handle" (an old term for a nickname used on CB radio). More here:
