Eve Online and Neesika are shreiking at each other about something the thread isn't even about. Nadkor's doing a bit, as well.

It's off-topic clearly. The original topic drifted to "why when it's Muslims is it a condemnation of their religion and when it's Christians it's just a couple of bad apples?" Topic drift happens. The discussion of EO was about the fact that topic.

However, when he left it completely degraded into spam.

I'm not sure where the flames come in though? Probably you should give specific examples.

The flames are mild, but they are there. Screaming at each other's lack of reading comphrehesion, their hypocrisy, and their general stupidity. It's bad enough to qualify as flaming, I think. When it's 3 pages of ad hominem attacks...

... it's General. I don't see anything actionable, apart from wanting to slap the both of them for discussing one thread in an entirely different thread. But it's not worth a threadjack warning, so meh.

I wasn't really sure if anything was actually actionable, but figured better safe then sorry, so I just posted it here. Which usually seems to be what happens in moderation, people just checking to see if something's out of bounds.
