The behavior is a problem, but like I said, changing the name of the town doesn't change the people who live there.
Actually ...
In a blind taste test people prefer pepsi over coke, while when the labels are on people prefer coke and this is because people have a certain view of the brand.
The same thing could be applied to the flood, right now I see the flood as "The forum that attacks other forums" now that invisioning makes me more likely as a regular forum goer to be up for any attacks, while if it's name was changed to lets say just "The off-topic forum" I'd see it as a new forum for off-topic things and be more likely to be "not up" for other forum attacks.
Granted with the fact that the flood is also called the off-topic forum that name isn't advisiory but you get the point.
Couldn't you just be reacting to the name "Flood" more than you are the actions/activities of the group. Besides, how the group looks isn't the problem, it's the activities within. Addressing that issue, and finding out how to solve it is what we should be looking at not simply removing it or giving it a make-over.
