what is a flame?

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
Below users' names it says "this user has earned X flames". Does this have to do with the amount of reps or posts? Please let me know because a flame sounds like a bad thing and there's' no explanation for what it is.

Yes. It's based on the amount of reps you have.

I don't remember the check points, but the more helpful you are, the more flames you'll get

You get them by reaching REP milestones.

1 flame = 25 rep
2 flames = 100 rep
3 flames = 250 rep
4 flames = 500 rep
5 flames = 750 rep

thanks for clarifying it. I thought maybe a flame was a way for the community to know what level of infractions you have\ to shame the user into behaving.

I think it's more they don't think about rep at all and just go about their day lol.

Rep, doesn't mean much though. I've seen plenty of high reputation individuals around here giving ridiculous advice.

After the first 37 I stopped worrying about it [then I could sell stuff which is why I originally joined, but then fell in love with the site and can't seem to leave it alone for more than, well, we won't get into how much time I spend on here lol ] smile.gif I just try to give the best advice I can from my own personal experience and not pile on when something has already been said 1 billion times in the same thread
