You can't name name in a negative context because you will incite a war or words and that would most likely get out of hand with name calling.

This is not true, in fact, most of the time never happens. The times it does happen are with very, very immature people. Think about it - surely there were times one of you may have trained somebody, accidentally or they were just "in the way", and they got pissed about it, and yelled at you for it. Did you turn around and call them names?

Other games I have played allowed people to say the name of individuals, on their official forums, and while naturally there were some issues between immature people (as there will be on any forum, regardless of this rule) there was nothing truly out of hand, nothing bashing, just people stating facts, which in the future, helped other players to avoid certain people, or learn not to do business with them, etc. And the few times when something did break out, the mods did their job, and dealt with the issue.

Personally I think this certain rule should be more detailed, because like I said, simply saying what a person does is not flaming.

I know you're trying to do your jobs as moderators, but the idea behind being a mod in most places isn't to go to extremes to prevent things from happening (because trust me, I've been a mod several times, and no matter what extremes you go to, they will always occur) the point is to deal with them and resolve them when they do rise up, while still maintaining a pleasant atmosphere.

Its hard to maintain said atmosphere when people who post publicly feel they're that limited or set in a sunshine and daisies box - in my experience most people come to fan sites to get away from the dictating environments of the officials, so they can be more open about things and more accurately share and learn info.

And I will repeat this until the end, but stating a fact about somebody is not flaming, and if they feel the need to get defensive, maybe they should re-evaluate what they're doing, and change their ways.

Fact does not equal flame.
Disagreement does not equal flame.
