I completely agree, the administrator chatboard should be a place
where administrators are free of harangues by non-administrators.
Please report posts that are either off-topic on that board, or
otherwise are nopt appropriate for an administrator support board. We
promptly review every post reported, so expect quick action after
reported.

Thanks!
