"I just didn't want to see the forum go back to old days where on member or clique would needle another member. Whether the person deserved to be needled or not , it is not good for the community.
Also I would like to say. When a post is flagged, it is anonymous to the community. However we can see who did it."
Actually, I would very much like to see the forums go back to the "old days" when most of us were more like family here. That was before your time, I think. Then the cliques and the people who had to say something sarcastic or leave 1-word replies to every post just to get attention came in. And most of the family left.
Some of us have been wandering back in, trying to see if anything had changed. It doesn't bode well when forum moderators publicly call out a member for flagging something, making a point to let everyone know that you can see the names. THAT is the sort of thing that tore the Eden family apart. "However, we can see who did it"... Smileys don't make up for passive/aggressive tendencies.

This is a great comment and it summarizes what we're striving to accomplish here perfectly. Eden Forum is not a place to intimidate, put down, or make fun of people. It's a place of having fun, relaxing, learning, and being among friends and family.
Everyone and especially the moderators should know and respect that. And while I'm here I'll enforce this rule and protect everyone with everything I have.
Please don't hesitate to voice your concerns on this forum or PM me directly. I promise to get the issue resolve.
I understand that it's not possible to make everyone satisfied with everything, but it's very doable to build a wonderful, intelligent, fun community that we'll be drawn to every chance we get.
