You lot come to this forum looking for victims. You and your buddies then PM then asking them to join. I accept that some fit in, and that the place can be amusing; however, those that don't are subjected to the kind of treatment that is described all too vividly in places like this under the heading of "bullying". The kind of treatment that, in certain circumstances, makes people feel like topping themselves.
I stand by the following, I believe one of your admins refers to these people as "fresh meat":

Truth is that you lure vulnerable people — who often show the most acute signs of AS — from sites like this to use as objects of ridicule. This ridicule includes administrators goading them mercilessly and allowing images they've posted in "secure" areas of support sites to be used to humiliate them. When you push your victims too far, and they retaliate in the only way they know how, you ban them and threaten them with legal action.
I know more about the place in question than some of the current admins. I was one of the first to be invited to set the place up originally. Since that time, I've seen at least three people with AS related social problems treated like dogs. Perhaps you're trying to prevent that kind of thing happening again, but unless someone keeps pointing out to you the danger of what you're doing, you will have no incentive to change.
As for the absurd idea that you operate with no rules, that is just part of the deception. Obviously there are rules, although they are unwritten — how the hell can someone get banned otherwise? Many with AS struggle with interpreting socially constructed boundaries that are those unwritten rules. Inevitably, those most encumbered by such difficulties will be the ones hounded, humiliated and eventually threatened with the law; and of course that makes the best entertainment for some of the more unpleasant individuals there.
And I'm not the only one who has the above opinion. One of the founder admins has similar concerns, too.
