3. I've seen flaming and IMNSHO, it's against the spirit of DU, even if it sneaks through rules.

Saturday

General Discussion banned Israel-Palestine discussions, and still do, in the "About" page.

At one point, they were allowed and still are.

Do you feel that rules should be better honored?

From what I see, there are indeed closed forums (for administrative stuff) so it's apparently doable, but as far as keeping it harmonious, I don't know. I never taught kindergarten.

Just Kidding,

I hope.
