Talk:Cinder Fall/@comment-71.175.63.159-20170720012416/@comment-24573226-20170720045617

I don't personally consider it to be flame-baiting if someone answers a question honestly. "Who do you want to kill Cinder? I hope it's Ruby." "Eh, I'd rather have Cinder kill Ruby, tbh." It's a logical response with their opinion to an open question that included Ruby in it.

Flame-baiting is more along the lines of deliberately making comments intended to incite someone's emotions. Calling someone names or rude adjectives could actually fall under this category, as well as be called a personal attack on another user.

Thank you for apologizing for bringing such a negative post to the top level of this article. And bringing up a concern that staff doesn't moderate enough is definitely something you should feel welcome to point out. I, in turn, will point out that in the comment thread you refer to, when Ark was jumped on by another user, both a moderator and an admin weighed in.

You are articulate and have strong opinions, anon, but do take a deep breath and try not to get so excited that you reach antagonism.
