Yeah- and as Bill O'Rights stated, it's not about "busting asses", it's about whether or not to close the thread when it's reached a level we feel is enough.
I'm sorry if it feels like we're "coming down on you" or "circling like cops on rappers", but we (maybe incorrectly?) think a little positive encouragement goes a long way to keeping the peace and making it comfortable around here.
There are lots of people who won't post in here simply because some of you turn the place into flame wars- and no one wants that.

I'm not asking you not to clamp down - I'm just asking if it wouldn't be a better idea to wait until something actually happens before you clamp down

1. "Report this post to a moderator" button. Said it a thousand times, will repeat myself as necessary. Use it, use it, use it, use it, USE IT. If you use it, and see no resonse, it may be that the moderator felt it was fine to leave. If you're still dissatisfied, PM another moderator, or a Super Moderator, or even an Admin if you feel that strongly.
2. We don't close threads before "something actually happens". By all rights, and our rules- any thread that starts off immediately identifiable as a troll thread is subject to being closed. Period. We are, however, quite relaxed in regard to that rule. If we relax on it, and the shit starts hitting the fan, we give little warnings in the thread to let everyone know to cool it.
This is a discussion forum- flaming and trolling are not acceptable forms of discussion.
