I wonder if you have considered reporting these people --or maybe there IS no one higher up to report to?
When I held the position on the message board, I read and monitored posts several times a day--both to offer support and to monitor for any violation of rules that the administration had set. We were a welcoming and helpful place and even my bosses said that they were impressed. I say that NOT to brag but just to give you assurance that you are right to be upset and I do hope you will consider not going there for support.
I viewed my unpaid position there and ESPECIALLY the members trust in me as a privilege and an honor. To have someone open up and share things on a board (as they do here) is incredibly courageous and no small thing so I did all I could to let folks know I acknowledged that.
YOU deserve no less!
Thanks so much, and I am glad you have had a positive experience on another MH message board - that is encouraging to hear.

I won't report anyone since the top administrator is highly reactive, unreasonable, unfair and explodes in rage and anger at members. She is very defensive about her site and thinks it is top notch. She is extremely toxic herself, so I wouldn't dare approaching her about this issue. If there were a board member to report to, I am sure I would still get a lashing from her. She simply just bans people who disagree with her, even.

It's probably best if I leave it as it is and don't do anything, though I wish the site would be shut down because I think it's more harmful than positive. I am not the only one who feels this way, too.
