Author Topic: Flame wars?  (Read 2405 times)

« on: January 04, 2004, 06:48:09 PM »
This may seem newbieish... but in the fourm rules, flame wars are forbidden. What is the meaning of flame war, and why is it against the rules? Is it something about Fire flowers?

Or is it?... *shifts eyes supiciously*
Let me away from this boulder!

ive only been here for 8 months but im smart enough not to start one

basically its when people "yell" at each other back and forth until their tempers  fly off of the hook and they get banned...thats my warped definition, if its wrong someone please correct me

So whats the big deal? Death comes with a territory! I''ll see you at Disney Land!

No, that's a dead-on definition.

Um, just because it's not in the rules doesn't mean that you start one. We don't do it because we have a little common sense. Hence, most likely, Deezer doesn't put it in the rules.

Yes, a flame war is when people yell at each other back and forth and it is very water tight (like the little Sadib and Santa [sorta] incident).

And now you know, the rest of the story.
