3. Any thread that is basically consisting of two, three, or so members just chit-chatting back and forth, will be merged with the WRT. As much fun as spam can be, its not very fun when it is taking place between the same members all the time.

6. Don't flame anyone. This includes, but is not limited to name calling, degrading of a person's character, etc. Flames are meant to be kept in the Flame Forum, after all, that is why it was made...

the limits of the flexible rules is simply a judgement call from the Leaders of Zelaron, the Staff.

So what people have done to this thread is, posting something off-topic, and some name calling which I do not consider as flaming. Still, it is the chat forum. Basically, I read the title of the thread, I clicked, I read the first and last lines, I replied.

People get away with it so much, I figured it was allowed to an extent.

In most cases, people referred to as "black people" do not actually have skin pigments that are even very close to "black". Their skin varies from a light brown to dark brown and sometimes can be as light as so-called "white" people. The reason for this term is simply because of the contrast between the colors (of white people versus that of black people) when black people were first discovered.
