Panache Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I saw something like this on a gw forum where people volenteer to get flamed. It was pretty funny and I think it would be a welcome improvement. The moderators at the forum where i got this idea also had 2 moderators for this forum so that its use would not be taken too far by any racial slurrs such as the n word personal threats on family members such as "I got your mother in the back of my car. This would be a good place for some of us to let off steam about all those stupid inuyasha and full metal alchemist fanboys out there. This idea is not copyrighted by the forum where I saw this btw.

Dragon Warrior Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Did you say GW? As in GamingWorld? I would not bring their ideas and such into this forum. GW fails miserably and lacks the order of any rules or anything. I left that place because I was flamed and spammed beyond all reason. Their moderators don't do their job that often and some of them even add to the spam and flaming. It's an uncomfortable place to be. I only found a few friendly faces there and they left as well. All who reside there now are the ones who continuously abuse everyone that joins, especially new members. Heck, they even have a "Crap Shack" where people are allowed to flame and spam all they like, which is disgusting and useless. Having said that, even if you meant GamingWorld or not, this idea could not fly. This is just influencing flaming and hate on the forum and basically telling members it's okay to diss and otherwise verbal abuse other members. Even if someone is silly enough to volunteer to do such a thing, what would be the good reason to? If it's to take out hate or pain, I'm sorry, my friend, but it doesn't seem correct to do it this way. Flaming is never a good thing, period.

Panache Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Guild Wars is what I meant. This forum would just be a place to have fun. You've never made fun of your freinds before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Warrior Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Yes, but I do that with them privately. The problem with this is it'll be abused very quickly. It goes against Otaku[b]Boards'[/b] rules and guidelines. It's not a matter of having fun, it's just that it's not something we do here. Besides, it's not making fun of your friends, it's flaming. You can mess with your friends in PMs or IMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 You can edit the rules. Plus this would be more convienient than that and as long as it is moderated well it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Warrior Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 It's not a matter of being able to edit the rules. It's the idea that the Administrators and Moderators of the forum chose to make these boards a safe place with no flaming. They don't want it, so that's why they wouldn't edit the rules to make it so the members could flame. But if there's more convenience to it, please, elaborate, but I seriously doubt this will go through. It's completely not Otaku[b]Boards[/b].

Panache Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Well itwouldnt be every where it would be a controlled environment and it would be more convienient than finding a friend whos willing to get in a flaming fight with you. So all willing participants would be basically signing a waver for either flaming or getting flamed instead of potentially getting banned for flaming some sissy.

Dragon Warrior Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 You can always just make a spar in the Arena if you wish to face someone. You can then have the characters you roleplay as insult each other during combat. That's about as close as you can get to flaming on Otaku[b]Boards[/b]. The reason it's hard to find a friend to "flame fight" with is because people don't often like to do that. You may do it with a close friend on the spur of the moment, but you're not going to find it here on OB. I suggest just using GW for this sort of thing and leave it be here on Otaku[b]Boards[/b].

Satoru Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 [COLOR=DarkSlateGrey][SIZE=1]Flame me :) But seriously, I think this thread thing is a pretty good idea because we're always getting some form of "I hate My life" kinda thing in the Lounge. It's getting pretty monotomous now.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010DigitalBoy Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 [quote name='Satoru][COLOR=DarkSlateGrey][SIZE=1]Flame me :)[/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote] YOU HAVE A CORN COB PIPE AND BUTTON NOSE AND TWO EYES MADE OUT OF COAL!!!!!!! But seriously, I don't think this is a good idea. Why on earth would we want to flame each other? Even if it was just friendly stuff, we get enough of that in the funny OB stories in anthology.

Dragon Warrior Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Dude, this thread was over ages ago. Come on, don't bring back this discussion. We all realize it's a bad idea to have a forum or even a thread dedicated to flaming and arguing. People saying they hate their lives is different than insulting someone. What's done is done. There will never be a forum on OB for flaming and spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 [FONT=Trebuchet MS]Okay. We've established that a flame thread is not an idea that would ever be placed into motion. So why are we still talking about it? Dragon Warrior has covered all aspects.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
