allow more flaming * 4

What do you think of the idea of being more lenient about flaming? I think it would be a good thing. Helps people express themselves better.

This place is SUPPOSED to be for learning. Flame wars are immature and counter-productive. Go play Call of Duty if you want to call people names and act like an idiot.

14 now, lol.

I think if the staff, as a whole, became more lenient on flaming that a lot of people would take it overboard.

A lot of people around here have shown, over and over, that they can't handle lax rules.

If the staff did decide to be more lenient with flaming I think that they would quickly regret and reverse their decision.

Maybe if they were a little less harsh on the flames punishments and let live and such, perhaps would be good. I know it's agains the rules in the pub but sometimes people become enraged and need to vent off some steam.

That's part of the reason there are other forums here where flaming is allowed.

No one is forcing anyone to stay in the pub.

Since no one from the staff has responded, I'll give my two cents.  I think I'm in the minority, but I generally won't discipline someone for flaming.  I don't think it's appropriate to do if other tactics can be effective. 

I think most flaming can be addressed by editing/deleting the offending post.  I think far too many bans are issued.

Yeah, people get caught up in the moment in heated discussions sometimes and seem to forget where they are, I know it's happened to me before.

Unless it is over-the-top or done frequently by the same person I like your approach.
