I personally think spam is worse. Flaming is easy to ignore, its not really that annoying, plus its easy to ignore: "You suck. <opinion> is better". It doesn't degrade things as much as spam. Look at YaeXirillion, the worst spammer ever. He was much worse than Absolute, who was a flamer.
Spammers can be banned. Flamers tend to less obvious about their posts, so therefor, they're worse.
Precisely. Flaming is a borderline and touchy concept, but spam is clear-cut.
They're both very annoying to me, but I chose a random one and clicked on spammers.
Spamming in my eyes, is worse than flamming.
Flamming, as said, is easy to ignore. Who farking cares if some prick that doesn't even know you, calls you stupid and goes off on you? You should know better then to farking cry about it.....
People are just babies.
Well, sometimes flaming and spamming are the same thing. Like when someone says "OMG YOUR STUPID!!" and they copy and paste that over and over and over and over, that's when it becomes... Splamming. *Dun dun duuuun*
That is easily ignored.
But enless you're a baby, and a noob (Which is most of SEN now) it will bother you.
Well, then if flaming is easily ignored, so is spam because i see about an equal number of both.
Spam is less offensive, so it's really only annoying. Flaming is offensive and annoying.
both of them are the same!
Spamming: really annoying and no one wants to talk to you becuase we hate your spamming, you cry alot and make no sence
In SEN: you make lots of posts and get to be a regular, elite, and so on really quick. plus i like the warn thing to come back since people cheat alot and dont fallow the rules. but what i dont like it is when you take it so serious like your working for the goverment or something.
Flamming: cry all you want, sometimes you can get what you want but its not the best way to get it.
In SEN: you make yourself look like a retard when you flame. there is no need becuase how can you start a fight when you dont even know the guy face to face, kind of pointless.
Ya, spamming is worse, mainly because they do things like stretch topic borders.
But if you're going to start a flame fest make sure you know where the guy lives so you can go to his house and sock him.
I believe both are the same but i also believe there is a different level of flaming... some might say its flaming but other might say its just a little rude but telling the truth. But some ppl flame and spam at the same time when they get mad and say really rude stuff which i believe is worse...
and spamming is just annoying... so it depents on how much they acctually are flaming
but spamming worse i guess overall
Spam is worst. Spam can be extremly annoying like having a load of repeated words and random things. Flamming howerever can be offensive but I rather see flamming than spamming, although the way they spam is sometimes funny.
I think flaming is more annoying, because sometimes you're trying to get good advice on a subject and you get someone coming in like "WTF You noob this map sucks, just quit now." Then you don't get advice, and usually you have to come up with some response, or if you're the bigger man you can just ignore it. Spam is annoying too because unless you can detect that it's spam at first you have to read through some useless stuff.
Spam is not directed at anyone, so it is annoying to all.
Flame is generally directed at someone, so it would be worse for that one person, but it wouldn't be as bad for other people.
Well actually seeing spam bothers me, but seeing someone flame someone, be it me or someone else, that really pisses me off. I usually side with the person being flamed, unless it for a good reason like they said something completely retarded and offensive..
[center]Spam is way worse. Spam is a form of flaming, but directed at the whole community.
Flames are easily ignored, unless it crosses the line into personal territory.[/center]
They might be easy for you to ignore, but not me.
[center]I've been pushed past my breaking point by spam before. Have yet to be affected by flames.[/center]
spam is worse because at least flaming is sometimes on topic.
"Ur all stoopid Noobs!!!$@@$!%!!!! I r0x0rs your B0x0rs!!!!!
....I like cows....moo"
Flaming and spamming are both lame.
heres a spam:
man its so obvious that my vote is the only one that says 1
I think we all know what a spam is, but thanks for reminding us.
Spam is worse, YaeXirillion was a spammer and a flamer.. I wouldn't mind him flaming, but him spamming was really annoying.
I think spamming is worse. It can get you distracted.
YaeXrillion now hosts, "Americas Next Top Spammer"
*Fox steals idea*
Flaming because it can affect someones life...Spam jsut annoys them
