Actually, as was discussed in Waverly's 'Cyber Match Inc.' and 'Cyber Match Inc. the results are in' I go purely for insane people.

Of course, I got paired with Waverly himself on that one....

it is funny that when you are here, Wav is not - and you are in a minority challenging him!

Or could Gnu be an alias of another animal friend we know?

Nah! neither of those boys are into alter egos!

Oh no, I'm not a smurf. I am probably as un-smurfy as you get.

@all: Sorry for intruding, but could please some of the so very exalted members here explain to me poor newbie boy what would be considered a "good" flame and what would get labelled "bad" flame ?

I've always thought that "flame" is something bad and a strict "no-no" on any forum .

Thank you all in advance for your time and patience.

Your obedient servant,

Beldin.

@ Beldin, we have a tolerance on 'nice' flames. They are often just jokes. A bad flame, in our terms, is actually meant to be cruel. Is that ok?

I wouldn't know.....I never flame

If you feel the need to flame someone, I shall volunteer.

**wonders if this cry for attention is too obvious**

Wankerly, or Waverly, is supposedly king of the flames. Can't work out why though...

And this "Gnu" guy seems to have completely disappeared after challenging Waverly. Perhaps Ysh was right....

A good flame, on the other hand, is not only meant to be cruel, but actually is. Tsk.

Sigh!!!!! It would have been so interesting to have a flame war on SYm once more, oh well, anyway why is Waverly the King of flamers anyway?

Hello Beldin and welcome here

A good flame here it SYM is when people who already are familiar with each other jokingly flame each other in a funny manner. Serious flaming in discussion and such is not accepted.

This Guide to SYM was written by a former Mod and a great spammer - it's long but it's hillarious as well as informative.

Well Buck and his little suck up children aka Mods

, are pretty nice and leniant(can i be a mod now?). They won't ban you if you flame. Well usualy its accepted as a joke but sometimes... Anyway compared to mods in other forums who usualy ban any newbie immediately if they flame(even as a joke), the guys are here, are great people.

Haha, i sucked up! A little bit more sucking up and i can call myself a COMM. Yay!

j/k

@Thorin, thanks....i think

This is my opinion, not necessary the opinion on any other mods or GB as a whole.

A little competition is okay, a little in the way of competitive nature is also okay, it depends greatly how far you take it and how serious you are. Each individual case is different.

If i was a newbie to this forum i would spend time seeing how the land lies before getting yourself banned for a flame war. Some of the casual flaming that goes on is okay, it is when things get serious that problems occur, it is better to ingratiate yourself a little so we know what your stance is, if you don't do this then we have no understanding of your position and we can not judge your actions.

I hope that cleared things up a little.

About flames/jokes

A little friendly advice from the experienced: Be careful when making jokes about someone of whom it is generally known you don't like as these jokes can very easily be misunderstood.
