R'lyeh rule

[Jenny A]

Every rule is still in place, with the exception of the "Flaming" rule, which is more relaxed. As long as large flame wars do not occur, no staff action will be taken against people flaming in this forum.

What is meant by large flame wars?

I'm just curious, really.

You want an exact definition of number of people involved and number of flames per page, so you can walk right up to the line, but not quite put your toe across it? Forget it.  Whether a thread has devolved into a flame war is a discretionary decision made on a case by case basis.  Deal with it.
