I understand your intolerance. However, it's address the situation properly and then advise (politely) in the proper way. I know how you feel, I used to be that way. Some might say I still am.
Imagine this: Someone creates a new thread asking when Halo 2 comes out. I will tell him, "May Eighth of 2007" and recommend that he read the forum stickies. If someone double posts, ask that person not to and inform him or her of the edit button.
The only time I would't really mind if you flamed someone is if they showed an unprovoked disrespect towards you or the community. If some jackass triple-posts, saying "i dont haef to listen to u 4-m nurd u prolly eet crossnts all dai u fatt tard lolololloololllooll," then by all means, unleash a can of verbal whupass.
Besides, not everyone is perfect. You can't honestly expect people to even know what a sticky is. Let them learn from their mistakes, and if they make them again, then I would consider it appropriate to tell him that we don't tolerate jackasses.
Of course, someone like Iggwilv, being a benevolent of amiable hospitality, will probably tell me to leave any would-be disrespectful jackasses and trolls to the moderators and try to be kind to those who do show respect.
Thanks for the advise, if it were directed towards me.
