The Psychiatric Ward

Kari, you're getting these mixed up. Allow me to provide you with the correct definitions of flame and flamebait according to the forum rules.

Flame: Flaming is basically insulting/swearing at someone and is not tolerated; argue the point, not the person.

Flame baiting: If someone does not flame you, but makes you angry enough so that you flame, this is called flame baiting.

Flamebait is more then, "FU!" and "u r crap." That's the most common, but I believe it is suppose to make the member being attacked flame.

"FU" or "U R crap" wouldn't fall anywhere near the rule against flamebaiting, that would fall under flaming itself. To be technical, it would fall under Flaming level 3.

You are correct in your example, what Mod2 said would be flamebait. Allow me to break down Will's post in order to show you my views of it. I'll do the same for yours.

...That's it. I'm SICK of all this crap that Glai starts.

Bordering flamebait, not quite there in my opinion (Which seems to matter little to a lot of people). It could have gone without the word 'crap' but it has been proven time and time again that Glai does start drama AKA crap. I wish he would have said drama....

Cookie said:

It's childish, disruptive, and happens too damn much.

Completely and undeniably civil. This is something that I would have said out of anger towards the actions that take place while Glaceon is on.

Cookie said:

Derek, Z, Qwert, Buggey, whoever it all takes... get 'em banned for all this bull**** FOR GOOD. T&C will be a better place when he's gone.

This, unfortunately, is the line that brought the whole post down. He was requesting that the Member be banned because of his 'bull****' actions. This says nothing to the individual in question, Glaceon. Because it was a derogatory remark towards the actions and not the individual, I left it undeleted and considered it a legit post. I'm almost positive that it's been said before that T&C would be a better place without Glaceon here. Seeing as that's been said, I doubt it's anything big or bad, but a cold truth. Now, lets look at your post, see how it matches up.

Or you could stop acting like a brat who get's mad on an internet forum.

Well this one's pretty obvious when asking why it got deleted. You said nothing about Glaceon's actions, yet instead went straight for him and called him a brat. Very nice choice of words -_-

I have to go, I was suppose to be in bed 2 hours ago....

^Interesting story just waiting to happen :D

I'm taking away your cookies for a month. -_-#

I don't blame Derek for making the decision that he did, and I would certainly not go as far as calling him biased because of it. However, when thinking about whether or not to call something flamebait/flame, I don't think of every little thing and perfectly dissect every word like Derek has, not because I'm not able to, but because I know that nobody else will. The point being that people generally go off of first impulse, first impulse says that Will's post could very well start some serious trouble, which is why I deleted it. I think Derek over-complicates things at times, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. He asked for my help and opinion, which is why I went somewhat against his decision of leaving the post. I explained to him why I did it, and he understood. The same goes for him to me, but as an smod, he (and admittedly, I) would rather go with my course of action.

Hi Qwert. Nice to see someone else on, although I think we're the only ones here at the moment. XD

Unfortunately, I missed everything that just went on, so I can't say much about the current topic, although Derek seems to think a lot before deciding what to do~
I just notice this now. X)

Yes, I do because I always want to make the right decision. Morning everyone

What, did I say something wrong?

Well I'm here.

I'm here but only for a little bit cause I have a delay in school but I still half to go.

You're on this early Z? Nice :D

At least I get say good morning, and good bye. Be back later peeps.

I'm only going to be here for about 25 more minutes... I do despise school ;_;

I don't today when my classes get cut from a hour to half an hour and half of the students might not show up so nothing might happen in those classes....

Evil school. *Sighs* Should of gotten up earlyer.

that's o.k...I might not half to go to school anyways....the roads might be so bad that mom might keep me home. I might have school but if the roads are that bad......she doesn't want me to go on the bus and have the bus get into an accident we need to go up some hills and if the roads are bad the hills might be too. We will leave for the bus stop but if mom thinks the roads are too bad she is taking me back home. So that is where I stand right now.


UPDATE: I have no school today!!! I just found out, my school just closed cause something just was issued in the town where my school is saying it need to close because of the weather.
