Grammar question about the description of "The BBQ Pit"

In My Humble Opinion
1

If you look at the description of The BBQ Pit on the main page, it says:

Does the part which says and other discussion regarding administration of the SDMB modify all of the previous parts of the description? I’m confused about what exactly it modifies since it says other discussion. Does the other mean other than flames and complaints about the SDMB? So does it mean:

  1. If you gotta flame [about the SDMB], do it here. This is the place for all complaints [about the SDMB] and other discussion regarding the administration of the SDMB

or does it mean:

  1. If you gotta flame [about anything you want], do it here. This is the place for all complaints [about the SDMB] and other discussion regarding the administration of the SDMB.

or does it mean:

  1. If you gotta flame [about anything you want], do it here. This is the place for all complaints [about anything you want] and other discussion regarding the administration of the SDMB.

Just wondering.

I always figured the gerund phrase “regarding the administration of the SDMB” simply modified the last preposition in the list, “discussion”. If that phrase was to modify anything else, then each multiple modication would make that part of the phrase redundant.

Therefore, the Pit is the place for flaming of any sort. However, discussion of the administration of the SDMB is only alowed in the Pit whether it is a flame or not…and any other discussion that is not flaming is not allowed.

The question in my mind is whether the phrase “regarding administration of the SDMB” modifies “complaints.” (By the way, “regarding” is functioning here as a preposition, meaning “about,” not as a gerund.) It clearly does modify “discussion.” It clearly does not modify “flame,” at least not grammatically. Since “flame” is completely unmodified, I read it as meaning “flame [about anything you want].”

Whether “regarding administration of the SDMB” modifies “complaints” is trickier. The general rule is the one that bjohn13 applied: a prepositional phrase usually modifies only the nearest noun or verb (“discussion”), and not any more remote noun or verb (such as “complaints”). But the word “other” suggests that the phrase modifies both nouns–otherwise it would have said, “This is the place for all complaints and discussion regarding administration of the SDMB,” not “complaints and other discussion.” So I vote for OP Interpretation No. 2.

But the wording is ambiguous. OP Interpretation No. 3 is also defensible.
