Hello Everyone
This is a post about how flaming hurts, and how people really can get affected by flaming, and other insults like it
First off, what is flaming? flaming is lashing out at people, insulting them repeatedly, and just being extremely negative in a non-constructive way
Secondly, what kinds of flaming are there? calling someone a n00b/noob/noobie is flaming, general insulting is flaming, having a negative opinion, and being VERY negative about it is flaming.
How can we respond when we are flamed? we can ignore it, send a comment/PM to them, but DO NOT flame back, that is just as bad.
How can we stop flaming? we can stop ourselves from flaming, to set an example, we can show people this blog about how flaming can really hurt
this is a completely hypothetical story, but it happens way to much:
One day Tom was walking home from school, he was bullied that day, and was in a very sad mood. He was looking forward to checking PMC, because he was a new member, and he posted his first project! once he made it home, he ran to his computer, pulled it up, and saw that he had a comment! he opened it as fast as he could, and as he read it, tears started to roll down his face, the comment read:
YOU N00B! this project @#$%^& why did you post this heap of @J#$%^& on this site, this stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom was so shaken, all he could do was lay on his bed, quivering with sorrow.
probably you have seen this, it happens way to often on PMC, even though it's against the rules, so when you are flamed at/seen flaming, you can take the suggestions above, and use them against flaming.
To sum it all up, flaming is being extremely negative in a non-constructive way, its also insulting repeatedly, do not flame back at a flamer.
