LQ has never been flame war friendly - the aim has always been to create and nurture a community here and flame wars really don't help with that. We're just too international here and a mild ribbing doesn't always come across in the way it's intended. Add to which, text is a terrible way to express yourself correctly. The words "you are an idiot" are just so much starker on screen than if spoken out loud. Happy birthday to us. And while the Jeremy and the mod team here are absolutely fantastic and need their pay doubling or trebling, the members make us what we are. So everyone should now pat themself on the back and congraulate themself on a job well done. |
With a separate Flame War Forum, if anything untoward kicked off in any other forum, then one of our highly esteemed Moderators could post: "Moved to the Flame War forum, where it will get the attention it deserves".

Happy Birthday LQ.
I'm new here but not in linux, and I was learning a lot of things and some times help someone, contributing with knowledge and questions. My best wishes to all people make LQ the place to find not only answers but friends. Maybe a new face for this 8th birthday will be nice. Regards :D |

But seriously folks, we don't like flame wars on LQ. While they are fun at first, they do get out of hand and you wind up losing people who either can't take a joke or simply get offended. And on a practical note, how on earth do you successfully moderate a flame war??:confused: |

Any chance we'll get a new color scheme or slightly different layout because of the birthday?
And XavierP, kudos to you for how you do handle the flamewars ;) |

We have no plans to change the color scheme, but a code upgrade is in the mid-term plans. No major redesign is planned as part of that, but there will be some minor changes.

A real suggestion, can we get to have animated avatars?
Plz, Plsss, Please, PLEASE !!! |
Yay for the avatar discussion! :) It is a long standing, set in concrete, never gonna change nu-uh policy on LQ not to have avatars at all. They aren't enabled because they have a tendency to become unprofessional and LQ always aims to present a professional face to the internetwebspherethingy.

No NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to Avatars!!! NO * 2^30 to animated avatars. Don't want to lower the tone of the site with such adolescent eye-candy.
:tisk: :D |
