As in, vague accusations of vague behavior involving vague individuals, followed by a demand that the community justifies itself, which serves no real purpose other than to get people gossiping, breaking the rules, and causing bad feeling among the members.

If you see someone posting something that you think is prohibited by the forum rules, please use the alert button. Otherwise, my suggestion would be to provide a counterargument to posts that you disagree with.
