About flaming

I have spend a day here on this nice forum, reading the topics and have fun doing so while listen to some great edm.
And lets just say, that it was fun the first.. hmm.. 2 minutes but then the flaming began. And Im not only talking about one or two users which gets crusified and verbally raped.. its like that in most of the topics and it makes me mad, but mostly sad.
Try to imagine people who are new to the edm music (I wont name a genre because that would lead to flaming Im sure). That user have maybe got some music from his friends or even bought it on a website or in a store, and are very happy with his/hers new discoveries. Now they have found this forum, and are happy that they now have a place where they can talk about the music that they have just gotten into.. and they write their first ever post on the forum, eagerly awaiting an answer to their music question.. but this is how it goes in 90 percent (if not more) of the posts:

1. Forum member writes a post.
2. one of the nice (and not flaming) members reply in a nice way.
3. another member reply, still in a nice fashion
4. One of those members who clearly regards themself as "MR I know everything and my word is the law AND the only way I can feel good about myself is to verbally rape and flame other members until they never come back on TA again".
5. more user bashers joins the fun.
6. A few of the more mature members try to defend the member who made the post and tries to stop the flaming.
7 Flaming continues, now targeting the defenders of the poster.
8. Now everyone is angry and flaming is at its highest.
At this point the members who wrote the post have given up and have left the discussion.

This is bacically the way 90 percent of the topics I have read has ended. I do know, that many of you more experienced members are sick and tired of the same questions, but then please dont reply to them at all, or if you do, just leave a link to a post covering the topics the members has requested, or ask them to search the forum.

I do know, that I will get flamed when I post this, but actually I dont give a shit. I have read these forums for two years now, and it have been the same all the time, continous flaming and herassing.
I feel Im going to vomit when I think of those members who come with those cruel remarks, they are the cream of selfcentered pricks the internet forums have ever seen, and you can quote me on that.

I wont apologise, instead I think that all you flaming members owe an apology the new members who just wants a place on the web to hang out and discuss music, but all they get is rude remarks about how their music taste stinks, how bad they smell, how brainless they are, how ugly the look and so on and so forth.

I dont know if any of the mature members feel the same as me, but I got the feeling that Im not alone on this one.

Just wanted to tell how I feel..

cry me a river. there's your flame right there

Great music discussion.

Fuck Off.

I think you'll have to show me an example of what you're talking about.

That was mature

Ah, the mature users on this forum.. fuck off is really quite a good argument..

But BERTIE-AHERN, I can higly recommend you trance.nu forums :-)

Hmm.. to the one that wanted examples.. try to take a look atthe " The trance formula" post.. I believe its only one of those posts as I recall..

This thread?

Seems to be a good discussion to me. JBJ is not a new member, he doesn't get flamed in his topic and the discussion is on-going. You're suggesting that someone in there there's a harsh, flaming post? It's a 10+ page thread. One flame is a really small percentage.

Come on. You're claiming that 90% of topics you've read follow this pattern, but you can only give the example of one post in a large, good discussion?

I've been here for about 5 years and basically, you have to have thick skin. It's just the way the forum is (it's definitely gotten worse though over the past few years). I definitely sucks if you're a total noob, it's like walking into the lion's den. People are assholes, but you just can't take it personally. They're probably fat slob losers in real life anyway! It's just the internet after all.

Awww yeah, was waiting for this one.

In all fairness though. Flaming doesn't happen without proper merit to do so in the first place (sans the c0r, god help you in there, lol).

New users don't read the rules of the forum, and expect everything to be spoon fed to them. How many "ID This track" threads have come through the music discussion forum in the last month? Answer; quite a few.

Yes, thick skin is required. Just like in the real-world. It's not rainbows & unicorns outside your door, so why should it be any different in here?

And remember, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and dog gone it, people like you!

SO true

Well, I guess your right.. Im just not used to that sort of thing, but hey, I will tag along and learn to live with it. Some thinggs just cant be changed, it is at it is..

So lets just leave it with that :-)

So, dont think me as one of those insufferable know-it-all's.. just look at me as a members who asked a question and got a good answer.
Its not my intention to fuck up anything.. I just made an observation..

Well, after all.. its the music we are all here for right? :-)

Well, if someone is seriously pissed, I can leave my email for continuees flaming^^ Its IHerebyAggreToLetYouPornFirmsSendMeTonsOfGayPornBySendingAMailToThisEmailAddress@hotmail.com (s******s)

Actually, Clovis is probably one of the better looking members of this forum. Just check out some of his pics. I don't understand why he isn't a model for GQ to be honest.

Dude.


T.M.I.

People who just jump on the boards and throw up a thread titled "ARMIN ROX, WHO AGREES?" sorta deserve what's coming.

There are just too many brainless idiots on TA. Think before you post or endure Mr.Mystery's wrath, that's the way to play the game.

Fuck, seriously. More thinking and less wasting bandwidth guys. It's pretty damn simple.

I like TA's system. This forum practically moderates itself. People who ask for MP3s or spam their stuff get their shit stamped on by ordinary members. And the thick-skin atmosphere means people who don't run away from their screens crying grow up to be good members.

It's funny though - back in the day I got flamed every single day for being me. Nowadays everyone's trying to be me.
