I've touched on the fact that the regulations page is pretty sparse when it comes to specifics, but I was reminded of this having watched a recent video on youtube created in part by RaceDepartment that goes over the fact that what the rules for Blue Flags differ quite a bit depending on the series/platform/league/club/organization/whatever. How can you "respect blue flags" if you don't know how to respect them in the first place?

I've always treated blue flags as "just keep doing what you are doing, don't defend, and let the passing driver decide when to pass safely" and occasionally "lift PREDICTABLY on straights if you want to just get the pass over with sooner rather than rely on the passer to do so safely." This is pretty much what this video recommends as well, I'm happy to see... but that doesn't mean everyone racing in SRS (especially in open wheel "F1-like" racing series we sometimes have on here) is on the same page.
Maybe make it a bit more explicit on the regulation page what is expected of racers here?
