I would like to respectfully suggest that you tighten up the rules for this particular forum, so that people like catfish are prohibited from flaming and trolling in extremely sensitive topics of discussion (such as serious health conditions, for example). Catfish acted extremely inappropriately and ultimately got away with murder in the "Mental disorders and supposed "crybabyism" thread. In this instance, it appears as though the rules were not just relaxed, but rather completely nonexistent. I hope it does not happen again.
Flaming and trolling are already prohibited in the R'lyeh.
As for catfish, there wasn't a strong agreement between the staff on whether or not he was actually flaming or trolling in that thread. A few of us voted against any action because we thought that his comments were more of a personal attack, which is allowed in R'lyeh.
And people who post in the R'lyeh usually know, or should know, what they are getting themselves into. There is a description in that forum for a reason.
