I have seen some threads go up in flames, and moderators close them, it really isn't nice, because you always want to have your say on the flame-war, but you can't when it's closed. I think we should have a Flame Board, where all the threads that would normaly be closed go there, that way members can fight their way out, while the sanitary people can have a peacfull discussion on the rest of the board. And everybodys happy, waddua think?
Isn't it better to finish your argument (or intense discussion) by P.M.? Seems rather ego-driven that one would need to publically stomp on someone just to claim victory.
What benefits would be drawn from it? No. They are closed cause they're not going anywhere.
That sounds like a lot of work for the moderators if the thread has topical stuff along with the flames. Then they have to cut out the flames and move them to the flame board or the topical stuff will get lost. :(
That's the point of closing them: to stop the mindless flaming and trolling opinion.Quote:

I thought it was so they get scoot off the page, then the next, into nothing, seeing how they aren't helping anyone.
No that's not it at all; it's just as they've told you. I've an idea to make something that will let members lower threads they don't like on the thread list so that more interesting stuff can stay at the top, but no one seems to like it.
Nope. Reasons pointed out by others already.
I wouldn't mind something a little different though, like a read-only repository of "how not to talk on cboard". I'm guessing this would bloat the forum from the point of view of the (wonderful :)) people who keep it running, though.
I think a Java board has a better chance and would fit in better.
Flame boards sour up the communities that create them. A Java board would make more sense; I mean, you've got a C# board already, and that has nothing to do with the topic of "C programming." Unless you like to categorize languages by the first letter of their name :-)
Another useless thread by Queatrix! :rolleyes:
Put it with the others. :D
Show me the others!
Your recent "Spam, Bam!" thread, to name one. :)
Name two... that is, if you can!
This one:
Wtf is that about?Quote:
Some interesting words.
The bitterness of low quality lingers long after the sweetness of low prices.
Don't worry WALL*MART, I'm not refering to you...
There I named two, make it three, if you include this thread.
First off, this thread isn't useless, the Spam Bam one maybe, but not this one, after all, someone did agree with me.
Second off, I bet you I can find a useless thread you started.
Third off, I have never seen this "interesting words" thread you say I posted, in my life, I can't even find it by searching the boards, I got no idea what your talking about.
Hey, is all this talk about closing useless threads that amount to nothing but flame wars giving anyone else some ides... ?
I almost insulted his easily insultible sig. :D
EDIT:
Anyway, I guess what Rashakil Fol said would be true, I change my vote.
There will not be a flame board.
The purpose of this board, in my opinion, is to help people not encourage folks to flame everyone.
This board has lasted so long and outlasted others because it has stayed on focus the entire time and because it is a board that fosters respect (when it is due of course). Losing all that now would be fatal.
There are times when some deserve a good thrashing but it should always for the purpose of learning, correction, or to help new people become respected members of the community. That last part is a nice way of saying when someone steps out of line we make sure they know it.
A flame board is a very bad idea.

Kermi would love you to believe that he just went into the moderator control panel and editted the voting for the poll, but the truth is he's got teh hax.
