Actually, I support this, insomuch that a perma for what appears to be "minor flaming" is a bit overkill.
A few days ago I also apparently managed to get Dezcaban/RaR banned for a week over a joke image with mspaint level gore that I was too dense to recognize as a joke. Looking back, I honestly wonder if it was actually bannable.
Someone else in the thread did imply that they reported it also, but... Still. I actually wish I hadn't reported it, as it really didn't manage much in the way of gore (or flaming)
I agree on the wolf pack mentality. Kaiiu's ban was for dontcaredontpost I thought, but still. I said to the OP of that "SOMEONE CUSSES" topic "forget you, OP, get banned". (The forget you was a joke related to "no cussing"). Nobody reported me or anyone else who told him to get banned.
I wonder if the flaming rule doesn't apply if they actually are very very obviously stupid?
