Mod/admin act based on report being made, moderating team always act in good faith that do not want to interfere any topic (even sometimes OT) if any discussion is done in good faith.
Forumers can argue on the issue, disagree on the issue, nothing wrong with it.
But bottom line is not on personal attack.

Sometimes, suspend the topic is for cooling down intention, and clean up the thread.

If forumer keep on persisting on personal attack issue, then the only choice is holiday given by staff/admin.

The topic belongs to all, it is not fair for the topic needs to be thrown out all together/suspend forever just because a few forumers especially to some whom posted constructive posts/comment/view, and contributing a lot to the topic.

Please hit the report button.

Moderating team sometimes cannot follow the topic precisely and may not "knew" who is who in the topic discussion.

Moderating team look at post content being made (that being reported), instead of whom, or whole length of the discussion.

As said, moderating team always act in good faith and believe forumers can behave themselves.
So there is always some leniency approach adopted first.
Generally more stricter action is taken if situation become out of control.

The first one may be the culprit of starting confrontation, but the one react stronger with foul word, cursing other will always being punished.
It is same in real world.
A say bad thing about B, B went to hit A. Who receive punishment? B

There is nothing wrong if merely talk about A, B, C bought property or sold property, <--- this is not deemed personal attack.
But saying foul word on other, cursing on personal front then it is considered personal attack already.

Moderating teams is not working 24x7,
and do not go through every topic, and may not go through the topic at all, so if nobody report, moderating team may not aware what had happened on the topic.

For those not related to property, and intend to talk about the person, please use your PM to post directly to the person.
Others are not interested to know.

Here talk about the property, not the person.

A little bit OT never mind, but this is a property topic, not gold.
We have specific gold topic, please post at there. Ty.

That's why I mentioned a little bit OT is ok, but not until focus on gold itself only, without any relevant to property issue.

There is existing gold topic if interested in gold investment discussion.
