A wall of flame

Pendar · Post by **Pendar** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 9:49 am

I propose a new board called the wall of flame,or something.
That way any post or thread seen to be to abbrasive,non constructive,plain stupid or angry. Can be moved there by admins and other forum users can ask to have the thread/post moved.
People are going to argue, I no i am a sucker for what one may call a heated debate. In the end though this bit of fun on my part or my attempt to hammer a point home to some one else. Detracts from the topic at hand,makes the board less pleasant to be on. It also causes more valid topics to be lossed than anything else.
My recent discussion with moiriar sian being a good example. As soon as he commented on darlock and I in turn went "after" him our posts should have relegated to this wall of flame. It would have enabled the actual topic at hand to be discussed.

What those flames need isn'ta place to burn undisturbed. What they need is a fire extinguisher.

I propose Alatar pulls the pluck on the server every time that happens and everyone involved goes get a cold shower, some palliatives and a good night of sleep before coming back to the board.

Flaming each other absolutetly doesn't help the community nor the game, no matter where and when.

The problem is adano that people define flames differently. I am not trying to be technical/vague. Here I will refer back the post i was involved in recently.
I am sure it was not sians express intention to flame the board with nonsence. It wasnt my plan to ruin the topic at hand. By the end of the post we had managed to kill the topic. If there was a forum more suited to debateing with people. I use the word debate not scream shout and curse. I could have taken my reply there and offered a link.

I respect what you are saying that by making a forum available for it we encourage it however the lack of such forum does not stop angry and confrontational posts appearing on the boards any way. At least this way they have a contained place to be discussed how ever forcefully and locked at admins chooseing.
I dont know, your is a valid point and i also think mine has merit.
Open to the floor

Well, regarding that look at my post in the discussion thread.

The main problem, which I notice every time such a well meant topic devolves into a flaming inferno, is the way some people use to bring up their point.

Sians style is getting out of hand because what he does (whatever his intentions may or may not be) is plain insulting. Others like to wrap their arguments into sarcastic comments or stupid jokes (like myself from time to time). Or they just fire off like a rocket when they feel someone might be attacking them without reason.

Sometimes I truely believe Illarion should come with a USB driven tranquilizer to cool down some overheated minds.

USB driven tranqs, what a novel idea, perhaps you should send it to the proposel board of microsoft and make your millions

Aye point taken,
I will concede that making a space for flameing only encourages responses that people wouldnt make on other forums...
Usb tranc idead wouldnt work, Windows is specifically designed to cause medical problems like,,,high blood pressure,migrains and depression. If they began to distribute meds with the machines there contract with the FDA would fall apart. People would stop eating mac D to compensate for the emotional trauma suffered using windows and then we all know the world economy would crash.
Very very bad idea,,,,
