What is a Flame war?

[Askindale]

i don't fully understand the concept and i would like someone to shed the light on this subject. (just a person wanting to know some information)

[Mr. G]

Bashing someone back and forth.

[smoka-cola]

It's when someone triggers a bunch of people and there's a gigantic argument on a thread.

RELIGION, GENDER, RELATIONSHIPS, THIS GAME IS BAD, CONSOLE MASTER RACE, POLITICS!
All of those can cause flame wars, please do not use any of those in this thread, in which case there is the Emergency Exit labelled as "unsubscribe to discussion" in the top right.

ok thanks for the warning

It's what every other thread on Steam evolves into.

A flame war is usually an ongoing argument in a forum thread.

This usually consists of:

- A thread becoming derailed

- Arguments that are often fought using Logical Fallacies [9gag.com]

Logical Fallacy example:

Steam Member: "I don't think it's fair people are required to own a smart phone for Steam."

Steam: "90% of people in America have a smart phone. It's not Steams fault you can't afford a smart phone. Maybe if you get a job, you could afford a smart phone! Only 'stupid people' think it's a BAD IDEA to have a smart phone."

Now that is funny. They have these $2,0000 rigs and cant afford a phone

I get what you're saying, but that has nothing to do with my post. Have a good day.

A lost art, just like Trolling. These days, much like trolling, people attribute that to people just disagreeing and arguing about a topic.

Back in the day, it actually required skill and was very much an art form.

Congrats, you totally missed the point. Now that's funny! SEE: Logical Fallacies [9gag.com]

BTW... Not everyone WANTS a smart phone, like me. Sure I can afford a (smart) phone.... BUT I DON'T WANT ONE. Is that too hard to comprehend?

Congrats, you totally misinterpreted what I was saying. Now that's funny!

What were you trying to say? Please clarify.
