Here's the deal with trolling/flaming/being off topic:I have been reprimanded at least 5 times for just defending myself here. Some trolls seem to get a free reign.
- Zone 1 (you'll know you are in this area because the threads have a pre-fix that says Zone 1): No trolling, flaming, off topic comments allowed. No exceptions.
- Zone 2 (every area except Zone 1 and the "basement" - Flame Zone, Rubber Room, Badlands): Flaming is allowed as long as the post contains content relating to the thread topic. So, if someone were to call you a moron AND be talking about the thread topic, that is allowed. IF someone calls you a moron and doesn't talk about the thread topic, then it violates the rules. Same goes for you if you were to reply the idiot calling you a moron. You can defend yourself all day long in the reply, but make sure you talk about the thread topic. Otherwise, it violates the rules.
- Zone 3 (Flame Zone, Rubber Room, Badlands): No thread topic is required in any reply. You can flame and troll to your hearts' content.
