You've received some good advice here.

WELCOME!

PC is different in that we recognize when members are acting out of being triggered, etc. (or try very hard to). We don't automatically ban for "bad" behavior. In fact, as a general rule we just edit/remove posts and PM the member. If it continues, the member may get a warning. If it continues from there, depending on the severity of offenses and how many, the member may see a suspension. We rarely completely ban an active member and it's usually after many resources have been exhausted.

That said, using the ignore function is a good tool for self-care, but is far from perfect. That's a good time to contact a mod or admin. The frustrating part is that alot of the time we may suggest ignore...when the other member isn't posting against guidelines. The mods and admins here also work by the guidelines because members here expect to be able to post within them. However, if someone does attack here and it's outside of the guidelines, it's a good idea to contact a mod/admin, or report the post, as opposed to responding with like publicly.

Again, welcome.
