To answer the question in the title: yeah, this forum is private property. The owner could decide tomorrow to shut the whole thing down to new members, or just ban everyone with an odd user id and there wouldn't be a damn thing anyone could do about it.

Exactly. The owner, not you.
You aren't the owner.
Since we're playing the "examples" game, the owner could also just fire you and issue a permanent ban tomorrow if they decide they don't need you anymore.😉

Rebecca Phillips57 said:@ hollowviper97 you're saying the owner appoints an admin just so they can dodge the dirty work.😬
I know exactly how that goes because I used to be an admin for an owner who didn't want to deal with "that kind of stuff," but honestly, we kept things on track by being incredibly consistent with the rules—whether it was a brand-new account or a longtime regular—and making sure everyone knew exactly where they stood if they crossed the line.

That doesn't mean he can't fire them if he decides they aren't cutting it, or if enough people start complaining that the admin isn't actually living up to the responsibility they were given.
I don't really get what your point is here.😕
Think about it: a CEO at a place like FedEx hires their own staff, but they also hand out pink slips the second someone stops meeting expectations or fails to handle the job properly.

Look, I’ve got a bone to pick here...
I honestly think that if any moderator—let alone an admin—responds to a legitimate question from a user with something as vile as "go fuck yourself," they have absolutely no business running a serious community like this one. It completely destroys any sense of credibility and flies right in the face of the basic terms of service we all agreed to when we signed up, not to mention the actual community guidelines. Because of that, I’m openly calling on the owner to step up, get involved, and finally address the fact that this place is being run by a headless crew who seem more interested in turning this platform into their own private venting session for their personal frustrations and complexes.👍

Anderson, it's your move!

So, how does anyone actually deal with Cushing syndrome? You go online and everyone just wants to lecture you about the symptoms and what it feels like, but nobody seems to give a straight answer on the actual treatment. Is it all about diet? Like, am I supposed to cut out meat entirely or something? Or is it just a endless cycle of steroids that basically wreck your appearance even more?
