How to keep a flame community into control?

Heya Community,
I'm playing with this idea for a longer time now, and I think it might be fun. You may think I'm a crappy person, but serioiusly, what can I laugh about those idiots (no offence) who flame each other? I mean, I think it can be soo funny when they make themselves AND others idiots.

What I though off, a whole community with the main focus of flaming. That means, just one board or at maximum a few, where you can flame whatever you want. But of course, the first question, are you interested? Do YOU think it's funny and might be making a good community?

And then we automatically come to the next point, what would you consider the limit? Do you keep it friendly, and just discussions about what is better, PS3, Wii or Xbox 360? Or further? But what do you do with racist remarks? Do you ban them at once, a warning? Or do you think, I've warned those guys here, they shouldn't be easy offended. Which is true, of course, if you are easy offended, you have nothing to seek on a flaming community. Maybe you can divide the forum into categories, for softies, the mediocore people, die-hard flamers? And if someone prove that he can be offended without calling the government/army to kill that person, get a "promotion" to the next forum so they can flame a bit harder? But what is exactly the worst form of flaming? About cultur? That you may be gay (I don't mean anything with this, an example.) or whatever?

Now I want your point of view, what do YOU think about it?
Also, please DO NOT flame in this thread, as this might get it closed and I still dont have my answer :) Don't be offended as well, please. What I said, don't join a flaming community if you can't take it.

:) Thats what I mean, if this goes on it can be a really good laugh. But can you have something constructive, if you don't mind:D
 
It's not for spamming, that's just plain annoying. But would you really think a flaming community would get boring after a week? At least, there are getting new noobs who you can flame:)
 
This only sounds like a good idea to a flamer, which most of us are not... so you're looking in the wrong place for your answer.
 
the site wouldn't even get off the ground. you'd get, max, 5 people, who post once every week/month, who only post something 100% meaningless (and probably stupid/not-witty) and leave.

there's got to be a sense of COMMUNITY, atleast a SMALL one, for there to be a community at all. a theme is USUALLY needed, as well. (i.e. this is an rpg maker forum)

there are lots of randomcrap forums but they usually have a number of extremely solid members at their core, they usually post a lot of porn (so that's a theme), and they usually pal around with certain others.

if you just got a group of teens together to harsh on one another, you'd never develop a bond, it'd only be bitter and theme-less.

ok thats the last real post im making in this terrible thread
i'd lock it but it's been so slow lately.

Isn't he trolling/flaming/misspelling himself? And didn't he just say that we are a community who flames and people who flame are "idiots"? So you are calling the whole community idiots? :crazy:
 
hey Mr_Smith ilu and don't want to deprive you but this topic? Pretty gay and really has no room for expansion beyond general shit so I'm just going to lock it now and stop wasting space.
