Rules of Flame Wars
Posted: 17 Mar 2011, 23:10
Whenever a thread is "tagged" with [Flame War], it means that you can start flaming! (Not really.)
If you wish to participate in a "Flame War", you must remember the following:
EDIT: Below are some great examples of what not to do.
* Joking.
If Doc ever thinks that "Java rules, and C sucks!", then we can be sure that not only the world, or galaxy, or universe, but all the dimensions themselves will collapse.
If you wish to participate in a "Flame War", you must remember the following:
- Don't Panic!
- No "trolling" (you know what I mean; if you don't, keep reading; if you do, keep reading)
- Follow all forum rules (...Hold on. Don't we have a "forums rules" page?
):
- Be nice, be polite (bad ex., bad ex. 2)
- DON'T YELL! (bad ex.)
- Don't post offensive stuff
- Don't s-p-a-m
- Don't post distracting stuff
- Don't post excessive smilies (bad ex.)
- Don't post extremely large pictures; post smaller thumbnails, if appropriate
- Try not to post excessive links (less than 10 is fine)
- Don't break the law
- Give a reason as to why your opinion is that one thing is better than another. Don't act like Doc and start yelling "Java rules, and C sucks!"
* EDIT: Or vice versa, like Vincent (bad ex., bad ex. 2) - Respect others' opinions (unless they say "Java rocks"; then you can attack them like piranhas
) (bad ex.) - Don't forget your towel
