Mizoko Tanny, quit being a pest. mad And what's the line between trolling, flaming and harassment? Just to clarify.
Well, as I see it...
Trolling is deliberately posting inflammatory statements in order to garner a response. Keep in mind that there's a line between having a negative opinion of something and trolling.
Flaming is pretty self explanatory, but it's any insults or other unnecessary inflammatory statements contained within a post.
Harassment is continusly attacking someone, either via stalking, posts in a single thread or PMs.
Keep in mind that I'm not necessarily completely accurate on these things, so don't quote me on it. ^^;

Flaming and trolling are pretty close, but flaming tends towards being an addon whereas trolling is the main point.
ie
"You ******** idiot!"
and
"You ******** idiot! reasons why poster was wrong"
Abuse is pretty much being the victim of harassment. They're both covered in VI. 11 of the ToS.

>< I have problems with violations and who they should be reported to. That and I'm starting to think I'm color blind. Why do the two variants of the color green look so alike?

Anime/Manga/Comics is slightly misnamed. People have been requesting that it be named Anime/Manga/Comics/Cartoons for a while, but who knows if that request will be fulfilled. Anyway, just in case you didn't know, there are 7 subforums to the A/M/C. The most recent subforum, which has been around for quite some time, is called Animation/Cartoons. That is the forum for all animated works that do not hail from the country of Japan. This includes flash cartoons. So, before you get ready to tell a Family Guy fan to pack his bags and head over to Entertainment, please remember that Animation/Cartoons is the proper place for the poster to be. wink

It went to that subforum I think. >.> Seriously, all people see when they see the A/M/C is... ANIME/MANGA. It really makes me wonder why does it STILL have to say "Gaia Online: An Anime Roleplaying Community..."

Murf. Just a reminder that it's tons better just to report threads, via system, PM, or sticky, than post in them that they're in the wrong forum.

Hey, I've never really figured this out. Are you supposed to use the report button for threads in the wrong forum, or just for rule violations, or what?

You can do it for either of those.

You can do it for either of those. Okay, I'll try reporting threads, but if I get in trouble, I'm going to eat you. mad

Don't abuse the system and you won't get in trouble. Clara won't abuse the system on purpose. But one day some mod is just going to be all like "WTF b***h? Why did you report this? I hate you lots and lots!". 3nodding
