You need to understand that some people are stressed because clear lack of sexual practise so they come online and systematically target every post or question with demeaning behaviour. This is further endorsed by the strong uncontrollable urge to reply to people instantly with sarcasm. It's like a caveman that lives with parents and has social overload when going outside.
Their behaviour does not look like mods at all, it's just virginity hitting hard.
You can go to other threads where they engage, it'll be the same behaviour. In addition to that, you can come by at any time of the day, they will still be there posting the same shit, it's fucking nauseating.
