Is there strange/odd threads lately, or is it me?

Yes. There are definitely profiles that come and go. I have also noticed that many replies get deleted. I understand that the poster can do this, is that correct ? I mean completely remove a reply as if it never occurred ? Also I have just received an alert telling me that my post created has been reported as spam or abuse and removed when I did not create the discussion. I simply replied to it but absolutely could never be taken as a abuse or spam.  In either case, I'm sorry to say, that the forum is badly managed and run. There doesn't seem to be anyone here on a regular basis that knows the forum or can deal with anything. Everything seems to be expected to run by itself. I appreciate that the pm facility was eventually sorted but the whole technical side could do with an overhaul and someone should be here as a mod on a regular basis.

If you look at the traffic on this site I'd be guessing at less than 200 total posts per day-  that's not enough to pay someone to look after it - we are a tiny forum with very few active regulars.

You mean 200 visitors not posts I'm presuming ?

I have compassion for those with mental illnesses that are such that they have other conditions-not just ASD. However, many people come here delicate. I see other users get deleted. I just would like to know there is 100% fairness here.

What's reporting as abusive got to do with the OP?       What's it to do with site traffic levels?

Report one of your own posts - then you can see for yourself what happens - but why would you want to cause trouble for yourself?

As for people dominating the forum, someone already tries to do that - with inane responses to every single post.       Personally, I don't understand the need to do that on a tiny site like this.

I mean i will report one of your posts as abusive and we can see what happens ?Do you agree ? Is there any mediation before that, is there anyone here who knows the forum and its participants who can resolve such issues before all this nastiness, pettiness and childishness occurs from certain individuals ? 

Surely someone cannot simply hit the abuse button because they don't like a response ? That cannot be right in any forum ? 

If that were the case, then anyone off the street could simply come on to the forum and try to dominate it, whether for ulterior motives or attention and that would be unhealthy for the forum.
