You keep representing this as you against the staff. You're not that important, and you shouldn't feel bad about that. Very rarely does the staff unite in aggravation against a member, in my experience. Even then, they still have to follow the rules they set forth for themselves or vote laboriously on whether they should change them.

For the record, it's perfectly fine if you insult back (within the flaming rules, if those still exist), to my knowledge. (Remember, I'm not staff. I'm just trying to respond with what I know.) The staff don't get special treatment in that regard. It doesn't make you a bad person. Even this bitching doesn't make you a bad person. It just makes you look like a grudgy tool who definitely misrepresents how he's being treated by staff, which he can't even tell apart. Admins and mods are different, yo.

But hear me out SC told me of all the times he's been here that he could count on one hand the amount of problems people have had with the 120 min edit restriction. So if it's such a rare occurrence why can't your admin team accept small requests? All I wanted was a small change. I just wanted to change '0/1' to '1/0'. How much hard work is it to click a few mouse buttons and make such a small edit. I didn't make any unreasonable request just a small one and all this thread admins have been slinging insults at me but if I insult back you guys will take that as an opportunity to ban me or if I report a user that is insulting me you will ban me for "false reporting". What am I supposed to do in a situation like that?

Okay, they don't accept the "small" requests because A. it would get out of hand and B. they already have a lot of "clean up" work behind the scenes. They don't get paid for this. They get compensated by threads like this. Again, quote the post and make the change. When you misspeak in life, do you flip out and demand to turn back time? No. You correct yourself later. Do that here.

And AFUCKINGGAIN, you will not get banned simply for insulting staff. I would complain about that, as would everyone else in this forum. Yes, if you report a user for insulting you, you are "false reporting" because it's not against the rules to call you a wanker.
