Quite often I see posters baited into flaming, when the bait and the flame contribute absolutely nothing to the discussion. Here's the most recent example:
-Insaanistan- wrote:Considering Vetalia is also convinced Islam is SHRINKING, I’d suggest not expecting him to listen to facts, guys.
The preceding quote had nothing to do with Islam, the thread's about DACA & Executive Orders, not Islam, and the only purpose of said post was to bait Vetalia. Here's a link to Vetalia's previous post for proof: viewtopic.php?p=38042926#p38042926
Quite understandably, Vetalia responds:
Vetalia wrote:Not the topic of this thread, but once you find some growth in Islam that is not based on rapidly declining birth rates or outright coercion compared to the millions of Sub-Saharan Africans freely converting to and reinforcing their faith in Jesus Christ as Son of God get back to me. Hopefully many millions more Africans will continue to "apostatize" from Islam and return to Christianity and our churches will protect them from your bloodthirsty retribution, i.e. death for failing to follow your "prophet".
And promptly gets a warning:

Everyone else, I suggest you take a step back, breathe, and get back on track with the discussion on the restoration of DACA.
Thanks!

This is how you bait to get someone whose opinions you don't like, kicked out from NSG. In fact, that's a textbook example. But for the bait, there wouldn't be a flame. And aside from the baiter, the thread was on topic, so not really sure why the baiter wasn't singled out by the mod, since the baiter was the one driving the thread off topic.
Time to stop that crap, hence the proposal shown above. What does NSG think?
I'm not calling for a warning, or for rescinding the warning, just wondering what NSG thinks of the new rule that I'm suggesting, hence the title - it's a discussion thread, not a report thread. I think my opinion's rather obvious, as obvious as the bait in the example.
