Re: Flaming in threads.
I agree With you Kris.
Idea: What about Just deleting offensive posts and putting the person who is causing problems on Moderate which means their posts can't go to the board without your permission first?
I personally don't like seeing the personal attacks It is bad for newcommers to see and people who are sensative like me. I PERSONALLY find the Middle finger Avatars RUDE and Offensive! When someone else proceeds to go and through up another one to be funny or whatever to Me that has crossed the line. When that happens you Guys as much as you hate to do it you need to step up to the plate and bat that crap out of there!

The problem with 'tightening up the rules' is that some people start to flame the boards for having too many rules.
Also we can't take action against just 1 person since there are often more people involved, its never clear 'who started it' etc. Some of the 'worst offenders' are people who 'react' rather than start flame posts, and sadly these people might think they are doing good while in reality they are not doing anyone much good....
I think we have heard a lot of feedback on this issue lately (also via PMs from people) so I hope some of the posters who like to give others a hard time or react very emotionally will read this post and feel a bit embarassed...
I have been making an effort this summer to keep my own overly-emotional posts to a minimum... I am a veteran of forum flame-wars from way way back

It wasn't directed at you before, but it certainly is now.
