I think it helps here that the approach here seems to be not to form a group with an identity, but to run granular and specific “working threads or PMs”, or individual workings, like mini projects. Once each on is done it’s done, and there’s no need for it to try to “keep itself alive” as an identity, which I agree can lead to egregores that start behaving parasitically to survive.
Yup. we already had one, and he was banned with prejudice. 
Please know, working threads have special status of this forum and are not allowed to be treated as opportunities to soapbox, nit pick, naysay or derail the working. I believe this was already posted above, but it’s wort repeating.
We are a forum of practicing mages and we do want to encourage active workings, not have them piled on by the fearful, confused or trolls. People are free to PM the OP, a mod or start a discussion of their own at any time.
So, if a working thread is being messed with, that is a directly violation of our rules and you can always flag a post or PM the @moderators group with a screenshot to have a mod review it.
As a member-moderated forum we rely on observant members to help the forum keep it’s culture and health, so never be nervous about speaking up, if you see something off there’s zero penalty for flagging it , and flagging is anonymous.
