Can someone define a flame?

A harsh negative comment that offers nothing constructive.

"This sucks!!!"
"Dude, you should give up. You can't draw"
"OMG WTF THIS IS TERRIBLE!!!!!"

Constructive criticism or even criticism is not a flame. While "the arm looks wrong" isn't very helpful ([i]how[/i] is it wrong and [i]how[/i] would the artist go about fixing it?) it's still not flaming. Only the rude and uncalled for comments like above are considered a flame. Smile

Since when do we need permission?

It's either permission or forgiveness.

This old thread has an example of a medium flaming.
