This has literally been the rules for flaming ever since I first came to this site over 10 years ago. The ToS Says you can't call people names, even stuff like idiot, and It's been that way forever, unless they removed it for a while and brought it back.

Maybe it hasn't been enforced at all times, but it's definitely exactly how the rule has always been.

The rules are being enforced drastically differently as of today, which is the same as the rule being changed. It's overly draconian and insanely idiotic.

My problem with it is that it seems like it's just going to encourage more trolling. Not only are the trolls not being punished, the people who will end up being punished are the people who fall for the trolling and get angry.

Or the people simply telling others a well-known truth about the trolls. Because God forbid the mods actually have to admit there's a problem.

Didn't SBallen go totally lax on the rules a few years ago because the mods were overwhelmed as it is? They went from "ToU violations" to "Board Etiquette" which basically was his way of saying don't be too much of an asshole. Of course too many people around there were pretty liberal with that rule, pun intended.

Before today calling someone a "pathetic fucking loser" wasn't going to get you modded. Same with "shut the fuck up"

I call people losers all the time. Not meant to be inflammatory or trolling, just meant to be a reality check for that person.

No it was blatantly not against the rules and the mods and admins would use it themselves

What's funny is that mods will continue to do it and not get modded. Because, you know, God forbid they have to run on the same rules we do.

It was ahead of its time when it began. Now it's outdated and the user base is lame and predictable.

it's needed. too many people have been taking advantage over the more lax rules over the last few years to be vile to each other for no reason.

You can't enforce a zero tolerance flaming rule like this unless you do the same for trolling. It creates a massive imbalance where good posters are run off the boards by trolls.

It doesn't really affect me that much. I would randomly call people fools and trolls when they acted foolish or trolled but it's really not a big deal now that it's moddable. However

This is a good point. People have already begun to troll by using the new rules
