General rules in flaming someone

by T'lainya

1) Ridiculing language difficulties is frowned on.Making fun of people whose first language isn't English is a cheap shot..You may, however flame native speakers at will.

2) You should introduce yourself in some of the topics before starting your career in flaming. Failure to do so will guarantee someone will be offended and flame you into nonexistance.

3) Remember the golden rule.Flame unto others only if you can stand the heat.

4) No whining allowed, if you play with fire, you're going to get burned.

5) Management will take no responsibility for flame related injuries.

6) Flame Buck at your own risk..do I really need to explain that your computer will melt and a dozen pit fiends will pay you a "friendly" visit you will also win a vacation to the netherworld, possibly on a permanent basis.


Foul's (Witch King's) Flaming “Shalt Nots” (Or, How To Avoid Being Sent to The Hall of Shame) -The Authoritative Guide to SYM Etiquette

Thou Shalt Not…

1) Excessively use expletives (SYMers are widely known to be the cultural elite of the Internet world, and so tolerance for inappropriate language, even when flaming, is discouraged)
Example: “F*ck you, you piece of sh!t, go to h*ll!”

2) Toast (other) Newbies unless provoked (likewise, SYMers are known to be a polite and commodious group that welcomes newcomers with open arms)
Example:” Oh, hello there “Loren”, I’m SO sure you’re a woman, and not a 50 year old bald man, go away, we hate you !!"

3) Commit a “Dwimmerlaik” (use more than the necessary number of syllables so that your target, particularly if English isn’t their native tongue, can’t understand your meaning, or indeed, thinks you complimented them. A more frequent variation on this theme is to sting together words gathered from a Thesaurus in such a way that the resulting sentence makes NO sense, whatsoever)
Example: “You pathetic stanchion*! You are not welcome here you insular** little apothecary***”

* A vertical bar, or a pair of bars, used to confine cattle in a stall.

** Pertaining to an island

***A person who keeps pharmaceuticals for sale and fills prescriptions


4) Use languages other than Modern English (using your home-tongue so that your target cannot defend himself, using dialects that are centuries out of date, or using a dead language)

Exmple1: “Lay da yuen fei kei mm sai sou” (Chinese for “You jack off and never wash”

Example2: “Odpierdol sie huju bo tobie zapierdole” (Polish for “Get out of here you ***got or I'll f*cking mess you up”

Example3: “Tu es stultior quam asinus” (Latin for “You are dumber than an @ss”

Example4: " Thou art a dankish swag-bellied milk-livered wagtail, oh a bashful one!" (Elizabethan English for “You are just like Ubik”

4) Indulge in a “Waverly” (taking someone’s post and “quoting” them by twisting the meaning of their words or outright making something up and attributing it to them)
Example:
Target’s Post- “You’re a really nice guy Darkpoet.”
Your Post- “Originally posted by “Target”, ‘I long to gaze deeply into your eyes and make love to you Darkpoet, and your horse.’, ”
5) “Grunt” at anyone, for any reason, whatsoever (extreme use of absurd filth for no apparent reason)
Example: “I want 18 Marines to pummel my @ss with their schlongs, pour their seed into my bottle of Scope and let me gargle with it as I take a sh!t”

6) Mislead the unwary (also called Trolling For Idiots this entails posting something that you don’t believe at all with the explicit intention of starting a flame war about the subject and embarrassing your targets) –
Example: (when non-regulars appear) “I despise Tolkien and all of his works. Not only did the man have NO skill in character development, but he didn’t even have a firm command of the English language.”

7) Use incomprehensible metaphors & similes or allusions (it is confusing to board members when unrelated and unknown events or objects are used to convey an idea)
Example 1: “He's as noisy as a skeleton wanking himself on a tin roof”
Example 2: “Gruntboy's so horny that the crack of dawn had better be careful”
Example 3: “T’lainya was so randy she looked as if she could suck the colour out of a marble”

DISCLAIMER: In the end though, all of the above is meaningless trash, as ANY comment is acceptable, as long as Smilies are used properly. The more searing the flame, the more Smilies are needed. For example, the comment “You bastard” only requires one, i.e.:

“You bastard” :)

…while, “I slept with your mother last night, and corrupted your sister this morning you worthless, slimy, little worm” clearly requires at least three, i.e.:

“I slept with your mother last night, and corrupted your sister this morning you worthless, slimy, little worm” :) :) :)


Wow, remember that T'lainya? I had forgotten. A marble!!! LMAO

Aegis, T'lainya & Kid: Thank you all :D I don't see much flaming now-a-days, maybe after reading the rules & the guide, the new people will start an illustrious career in it.
