If you really want to make this site more family friendly, you should be praying that flame wars stays. Think about it, without flame wars, where would all the "flamers" go? If it offends you that much, dont click the link, its simple.

How does this effect you? Why do you care if you consider a forum to be filled with the ancient decedents of man come back from the past? For that matter, assuming they even did that, how did they learn the English language and how to work a computer? Oh right. That wasn't a fact! That was a derogatory remark. Why are you flaming when you want the flame wars closed?

Flame wars causes conflict, and that conflict spreads to other parts of the forum. Things would be a lot safer if we just got rid of the useless fighting altogether.

Wrestler, most of your posts are in the flame forum.

And Wrestler has probably caused more uproar and flaming and whatnot than he could possibly prevent. Irony at it's finest.

Oh and um... safer? What? Do you think these forums pose a physical danger to yourself or others? If so, perhaps you should see a psychologist. It is not normal, nor even a sign of a slightly overly healthy imagination, to think so...

Excellent point - seems that the professed genius missed it - imagine that.

Actually I did look it up just to check. While you may personally find porn obscene, porn by definition is not obscene to all, or else there wouldn't be a thriving porn business out there. Nonetheless, obscenity is not forbidden by our guidelines. Porn is.

PhatJoey, I don't know what else to tell you other than to not go to Flame Wars if you don't like what's posted there. Think of it as adding someone to your ignore list.... they can still play here (we won't kick them just b/c you don't like them), but you don't have to put up with them. It's PERSONAL CHOICE. What we allow to be posted in FW fits within the guidelines set for the site. This information is all well-known; no one should be shocked to enter Flame Wars and read what they read.

i am sorry to those who believe i want flame wars gone, i dont want it gone i want something better

what i want is the flame wars to be... for lack of a better word "cleansed". it would be nice if the trolls went back under their bridges and the cans of spam recycled

Pretty metaphors are fun, but I think it'd help your cause a whole lot if you actually explained what it is that you're proposing. At the moment it just seems like you're having a whinge for the sake of whinging... I think we'd be a lot more receptive (and this discussion a lot more productive) if you outlined the precise changes that you're lobbying for.

You give a little, you get a litte...

Herakilla · Post by **Herakilla** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 1:32 pm

you guys seem to want to less "oppression" from the mods and they have clearly said that once you guys stop with the trolling and spamming they will back off, what more do you want?

Dancing Mustard · Post by **Dancing Mustard** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 1:36 pm

So your proposal to cut down on the trolling/spamming is what? What is the change that you want to make?

Or does your suggestion essentially boil down to "I don't want to change anything, but I do wish you'd all be nicer to each other"? If it is then what the hell are we doing wasting 11 pages of forum talking about it?

Your point is completely valid, but I think what you really meant is: you should expect to be shocked when entering Flame wars

there's nothing shocking in flame wars, anymore

not after the baby sitter changes

no... you can't get rid of flames wars, if you don't like it then just don't go in

Family friendly? I had no idea I joined a family friendly war based strategy game site.

Lack, how do I cancel my membership if this site becomes family friendly?

Flame Wars needs to go!

Do you think Flame Wars has passed its usefullness and just needs to go away to make this site more family friendly?
