People here are insulting me.

[Angrboda]

I just joined several days ago, haven't started that many threads or responded in many threads yet people here are insulting me from the beginning.

Is this allowed in the forum? If so, then can I insult them back?

As long as a member's conduct is not in specific breach of the forum rules, it is, generally, not moderated by the staff. There is a link to the rules of the forum at the top right of each page, just under the link to "Top Posts" (non-mobile forum skin). The specific rules regarding these aspects of member conduct have undergone significant change recently, but in their impact are largely unchanged (). If after reading the provided material, you still have additional questions, feel free to further elaborate in the thread you've created, or you may contact a member of staff such as myself for additional clarification.
