This is where I disagree with you, Unne.

I have to agree with Shlup; staff's not required to hold your hand. People get into arguments all the time. People dislike tons of other people. The best solution? Deal with it. Talk to the person, over PM, AIM, whatever, like a sensible person. If people go whining to staff about every little thing, it'll be like second grade where you run to the teacher when someone calls you a name.

Mod-whoring is something different, but if you have a personal problem with another member, it's best to try to solve it yourself before going to staff.
Mod-whoring is not, "don't double-post." Or "don't flame."

Also, flaming is posting for the sole reason to call someone crude names. I have yet to see a display of overt flaming anytime recently(not since April 1), though I admit I haven't posted much lately.
Most of the "flames" seem to be a snide comment here or there in the midst of a discussion. If you warned someone on that basis, half of the more prominent members at this board would be banned by now.

I publicly loathe all of you on staff, you bunch of mentally-diseased hicks, and I plan to place you all on Ignore because I'm tired of your ignorance.
What exactly would you have an admin do? Say, "no, you can't put staff on ignore"? Or, "no, you can't say you hate staff." Why not?
Yeah, he shouldn't have called them "mentally-diseased hicks," but what was the rest of his/her post? Was that it?
