Flame Forum

[Apoc]

I'm tired of all the "leecher vs everyone" in just about every other post. So why not have a forum dedicated solely to flaming others?

Of course, having a set of rules, and restricted to mature people. Possibly also restricted to a post count/rep?

Not to mention, it'd be cool to tote around the title of "Flame Forum Badass"

Quickie set of rules from numerous other forums with this same idea.

- No biggotry, racial slurs, or generally "in bad taste" flames.
- Must be 14+ (Might even want to restrict it to 16+)
- Some sort of minimum post count. (15 is usually the magic number on larger boards)
- People without senses of humor can GTFO and stay GTFO'd.
- Things said in the flame forum are not to be carried elsewhere. (Kinda like Las Vegas, what happens there, stays there... unless you got married, but that's a different story...)

Of course it's all up to whoever sets the rules and such. (Just going off a few boards where flame forums did really well.)

Well, I don't like the idea tbh, most because someone could get flamed in the forums for just not understanding something, and the user who gets really annoyed posts a flame, and then everybody else reads it, think its cool and whatever, and then, can't keep the "what happens there, say there" and uses those words against him elsewhere.

Ok, I'm sure many will have problems understanding that.

Anyways, my point is that with a forum like this, with so many members, it is hard enough to hold the current rules, with even more rules, + a forum like this, it would get allot worse....

Imo, no.
problems with other people can be solved via the PM system!

Reason I suggested it, is this was the fix to other boards with the same problem. (Ladderhall, Jayofteror, the old BlackHat forums, DefCon, etc)

Flames were everywhere they shouldn't have been. Once people had a place to flame freely, it settled down, and things started going back on topic. (Not immediately mind you.)

Haha this would be fun, im down.

We give Infractions for flaming.

LET'S MAKE A FORUM ALL FOR FLAMING EVEN THOUGH WE PUNISH PEOPLE FOR IT LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Naw, it wouldn't work so great... It's especially hard to ignore a thread flaming you by somebody else in the Bawx, etc.

And again, MMOwned Staff give infractions for flaming, it would be silly to make a section for it.
