Flaming

[JoshM]

Everyone is guilty of it, or has been guilty of it at one time or another.

Yes, even the other mods and I are guilty of it.

But enough is enough. We're all here because we love our old Accords... or because we couldn't afford anything better.

Whether your CB is "JDM" inspired, looks like it rolled straight out of a 90's Super Street, you have negative offset wheels, etc... we all drive the same chassis.

If you have NOTHING good to say about a vehicle or member, simply don't press the "reply" button. You can just as easily click your browser's "back" button.

Bans will be given out for rude people who think that their style is the only one that matters.


Please and thank you.

I agree!!^^^ to each his own... they are all the same chassis and if its not constructive critisism no need to be a dick..were all here on the same terms as far as the cb7 community.

Agreed, thats why i do my own thing.

I must admit I am guilty of this. But it was getting out of control here lately so hopefully we will all be free to do what we want and not get flamed for it.

This. I no longer drive a CB either. I dont think Ive been flamed for my choice in vehicle but I think it should extend to all members and their rides, regardless of type.

Yes, please enlighten us.

Can we flame if the Op asks for our good and bad opinions/thoughts?

Trolling = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29

There is constructive criticism and there's down right "asshole".

If you don't like something, simply say "I like your xxxx, but not so much that xxxx".

Which leaves a sourer taste in your mouth?
"I don't like this, but I like that"
or
"I like this, but I don't like that"

Its better to have the compliment follow the insult, then the insult follow the compliment.

"I like your shoes, but you look like an idiot!"
vs
"You look like an idiot, but I like your shoes!"
^^ Now thats stylish & slick, they'll probably say thank you ignoring the fact you called them an idiot.

Saying things like "I think your approach is interesting, but I'm not a fan of the result" isn't flaming. Perhaps it's unnecessary, unless you're asking a question, or complimenting something else... but it's not offensive. ESPECIALLY if the OP asks for opinions.

Saying "ew omg RICE!!!" is just downright insulting. Yes, it's the internet, and people shouldn't take things to heart... but you know what? We're not just a bunch of random dudes on the internet. We're a community here. We talk to each other on a daily basis. We interact, and ask each other for help. Our interactions are very "real life", despite the fact that we don't see each others' faces.



We had a member get banned for 4 days for a comment he made, He said something only mildly offensive, but he randomly put (R) (I) (C) (E) (Y) tucked between words... very clever. Rather offensive. Of course, he made another name right away and started attacking me and the mods... "this guy (himself on the other name) was banned, but you didn't ban that guy there... thats not fair." (that member is now permanently banned, btw...)
"that guy" was a guy that said, "I think it looks pretty ricey, but you did a good job with it."
Same offensive word, and honestly, I don't like the way it was stated... but it wasn't an attack. It wasn't ban-worthy.



Show some tact. Show some respect. That's all we ask.

[Raf99]

I'm all for respect. Understood & thanx

rice

I think this acronym has been misused many times and has since gotten a huge negative connotation associated with it.

To me it is the definition of the actual acronym race inspired cosmetic effects, or rice.

This is putting parts on your vehicle that mimic racing parts but really have no performance benefit.

I understand that it is now a negative word, but when I see someone put an erecter set wing on a commuter accord, that defines rice

I very rarely use the word, and after reading that using it is banworthy I will be much less likely to use the word.

I know you guys do the best you can, and I try to avoid pissing you off as much as possible, but I would be confused of you banned me for posting rice in a thread with rice in if.

With that said my post count is low because I got tired of helping people who don't listen, and getting into arguments with people who claimed that I didn't know something before they posted whatever and yada yada yada.

Maybe I should pay for the premium section, but most threads I post in I say almost the exact same things, and usually people don't listen.

I have flamed, and been flamed and usually in my openion it was deserved.
