I was mostly inactive on the forum in the past few months, and getting more active had made me notice that there was indeed an unusual amount in the forum-inadequate behaviour once I 'returned'. By inadequate I mean posters who clearly just landed here as if visiting just another platform to get their agenda visible or to have their sort of fun, and who did not bother at all to get to know the community.
I personally find it quite rude when someone just starts opening threads without investing any time in introducing themselves or posting on other threads so we can get to know them -- because once you do realise what kind of place you've discovered, you treat it with due respect instantly. But I keep reminding myself that it is also rather logical outcome of Angle and Greg's tolerant policy, as well as that such cases mostly do die out because the community takes care of them two ways - either we report spammers or it quickly becomes clear to that sort of newbies that there is not point in hanging around here with their agenda. Advertisers are easy to spot, but I do remember some colourful examples form the past who did invest time in building up their profile.
I disagree with annagybe that we can sometimes we can be too cliquey, but that may be down to my own negative interpretation of 'cliquey'. If anything, I'd say that we are protective of the rich, healthy, constructive and welcoming, all of which makes this very unique and precious place, community -- and rightly so. And don't think that anyone who had bothered to invest time and energy in getting to know how this place lives and breathes would find it anything but open-armed to those who want to enrich it by their own honest participation.
With that in mind, careful and in line with my own privacy concerns continually readjusted, I'd say -- onward and upward, Repot Post button is that gear icon located at the lower right-hand corner of any suspicious post.
