yeah I've read that, I was wondering what else not to do to make people mad. I belong to another forum where it is an unspoken rule we don't do politics, due to the wide difference in views, which has caused some flame wars. I'd like to be around here a while, and don't want to learn the hard way

the rules really say it all. abide by them and your alright

here in webmaster-talk we dont believe in flaming, those who flame their post would be edited/deleted, so dont worry a thing.

its a great online helping community for webmasters not a war forum so relax and keep posting. your contribution is appreciated here in this forum.

Hi Chuck,

As ghetto said, you don't have to worry about flame wars here! We'll take care of it immediately.

I don't think we've had any major political discussion yet, though...

Flame wars, IMHO, are when conversations fall to the level of purposely trying to make others angry (flaming), or personal insults. The person that has been flamed retaliates with the same kind of post, another flame. Thus, it becomes a flame war. Usually, others will jump into the midst and it becomes larger.

perfecthost is correct. flaming another member is really insulting them.

a good example would be in the site review forum. member A asks for a review and member B gives it to them, instead of being pollite they post "your site sucks, i dont think it should even be on the internet, you should be taken out and shot for that kind of thing, but that just wastes bullets on you. you are pathetic"

thats an example of a flame. that post right there would be deleted. flaming isnt polite at all and isnt tolerated here. this is a community to help rather than to destroy.

-Josh
