Flaming is the new black...
...or not.
Can you guys do a poor, heavily pregnant and hormonal female a favour and stop letting rip at each other on your profiles? It really isn't nice and if someone is being a bit of a prick on the boards, there are better ways of dealing with it than responding to them or flaming their profiles.
The rules we have here about trolling/flaming/hate-filled posts etc apply to EVERYONE and to EVERY AREA OF THE BOARDS - not just the main posting areas so please re-familiarise yourselves with our rules if you aren't sure and if you happen to be the subject of a flame attack please just report it - don't enter into a mud-slinging contest.
FOR FLAMERS:
If you feel like having a verbal meltdown all over someone's profile because they posted something which upset/annoyed you or whatever, please try to hold back however deserving they may be of your anger. It'll only get you into trouble and it's honestly not worth the aggro. Report them if need be but otherwise make use of the ignore and block functions if you really cannot stand someone - these functions are there for your use to prevent problems.
FOR FLAMER TARGETS:
If you are someone who seems to attract flamers, take a step back and ask yourself honestly whether you are contributing in some way to such a hostile attitude. Are you posting spammy, trolling and/or unhelpful/snide comments? Are you being intentionally offensive with the aim to upset others? Have you been posting crap with the sole purpose of getting a response from someone, anyone, and then taking joy in reporting them for being abusive? If any of the above - or similar - apply to you, now might be a good time to stop
FOR ALL:
Anyone who flames profiles will be warned either via a visitor message or PM. Then there will be a yellow card on your profile. Infractions will follow and finally a ban may be issued if you really cannot behave yourself. We don't want to do this so don't give us reason to. People suck, especially on the internet, so deal with it. But not by getting yourselves into a whole heap of trouble just because you need to have the last word. And a final note to those who may feel inclined to encourage a flame on their profile - don't try it. The staff will be able to tell if you are goading someone and rather than the flamer being penalised, you may well find yourself on the receiving end of an infraction.
Angel out
