I don't think your targeted anymore as a writer (Reporting wise) its just you are actually aware of how many times your reply or topic was reported. I'm sure there are many non-writers who get reported nearly as much or more. The reason users point out your a writer is because your held to a higher standard then the regular offenders. Users expect you to obey the rules of the site to a tee. When you make a comment that clearly would get another user a warning or a ban but you don't it upsets users.

Out of curiosity how many times have you actually been warned? I'm not talking a mod simply mentioning maybe a thread was a bad idea I'm talking a formal warning. Because almost every user who has been on the site for a few years received at least one warning and others received tons of them and even bans.

It would be interesting to know what actual repercussions have you had due to posts like the ones you mentioned which obviously you think were over reactions. If you haven't received a formal warning or a single ban and are just complaining because some users are upset with you, I can't help but lol. There will always be people who disagree with you, always people who report you always people who will pick your statements apart piece by piece. But if you haven't actually had any repercussion its very hard to feel the least bit sorry for you since myself and most other members have actually been warned and received bans!

my bosses have talked to me on a weekly basis about how reported my posts are, commenting that 90% of the things I say are 100% okay but that people seem to report me due to the fact that I Write reviews.  it's been discussed at length.  While I certainly say a lot of things that get people going, for good or bad, I do get reported more since I'm a writer.  

I don't do anything ban-worthy, jsut a lot of stuff straddling the line and I'm expected to be more neutral/drama-free since I'm a writer. 

So yes, more scrutiny is on me since I'm a writer.
