Author Topic: "Please don't flame me."  (Read 1865 times)

Have you seen any topics with that in the opening statement? I mean, really. Why are people posting if they do not want feedback??? For those of you that are too tired to move your eyes up a few inches, or too tired to use you memory to remember what topic you clicked on, I am referring to the request, "Please don't flame me." or, "No flame please." or another variation. Discuss.

It's quite possible to give feedback without flaming. Whether or not they see your constructive feedback as flaming or not is another story.

What if your constructive feedback is too tell them to go hide in a hole for the rest of their life? :c

That'd be flaming. Then Makingblah wouldn't agree with your lifestyle.

Yes.

That'd be flaming.
What if it's true and the person would be assassinated if he/she didn't? That's constructive, isn't it?

Quite.

The 'Please don't flame me.' is dumb not only because they aren't braced for feedback from other users but also when it doesn't have an affect on the person saying it, causing people to flame away to annoy the OP.


User 1: Please don't flame meh :panda:
User 2: Your build is pretty decent but you might want to try using some more colors to add contrast, and maybe try to use less bricks where possible.
User 1: I SAID NOT TO FLAEM MEH BITCH NOW BADSPOT GON BANT U :cookie: :cookie: :panda:  :cookieMonster:


What I find funny is the person who makes statements like that obviously knows they are doing something wrong if they expect to be flamed.

Its like saying "Officer I know I was going 120 on a neighborhood road but please don't revoke my license!"

Please don't flame me but...I agree.


Don't flame me bro!
