And to Sir Davos and Alexey Koburov, I will say the same thing: what I propose does not aim to make things perfectly clean and tidy, nor to delete anything ("shut someone up"). Even if it goes against the forum rules in some places, I suggest we consider whether it would be better to create a legitimate exception topic where there would be a more relaxed attitude towards flame in its various forms?
This legalization has a deeper basis. Forums exist for the exchange of information and, ideally, for the search for a new common truth. If all kinds of off-topic discussions and spam directly interfere with this main goal, "cluttering up the airwaves," then flame (especially subtle trolling) actually helps. Flame rather distracts some participants from the main line of discussion when they take what is said personally, get offended, and start "slinging mud." But the point is that such participants cannot maintain the main line of discussion anyway, with or without flame, so flame works more like a litmus test.
Therefore, creating a special "Preserve" for flame will help to better understand in the long run who is capable of what.
