eHow to Avoid Being "Flamed"
"Flaming" refers to the berating of a person in an Internet newsgroup, Web forum or e-mail list by others in the group. Usually, a flame consists of numerous nasty e-mail messages and is provoked, perhaps unwittingly, by its victim's posts. Follow these simple steps to ensure that your Internet communications are friendly and flame retardant.
Steps:
1. Review the forum's FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) to familiarize yourself with the rules and procedures of the discussion.
2. Scan recent postings to make sure your topic hasn't already been addressed. Newsgroup and Web forum regulars generally find redundant posts extremely irritating (particularly if the topic is addressed in the group's FAQ).
3. Post messages that are relevant to the topic of the forum.
4. Avoid posting advertisements, even if they're related. These are often irritating.
5. Post messages with substance. Avoid posting messages like "Me too" and other empty, uninteresting remarks.
6. Make sure your subject headings are clear and concise. For example, if you want to verify a new e-mail virus alert on an urban legends message board, type "New e-mail virus alert" instead of "Is this real?"
7. Avoid petty insults and irrelevant banter.
8. Respond to a post via e-mail if your message is directed toward an individual rather than all users of the group. Remember that all posts are visible to all users.
9. Avoid flaming back if you're flamed. If you made a mistake to provoke the flame, apologize to the group. |
