In my opinion, whatever to be defined as a "flame" would depend on the person you consider flamed. Before even hovering your mouse over the "ban user" button, consider this: I'm called an idiot every day. Say, maybe, Beast gets P/O'd at something I did and calls me an idiot. I wouldn't really be offended; but then he gets warned or banned? I believe that if a person is offended by an insult someone threw, then it's flaming and would be reported or PM'd to a Admin/Mod. Otherwise, it's average-day internet chat.
