what is a flametag?
A flametag is a kind of report that you can fill out on an ex- (or maybe your current) flame.
why would I want to tag my ex?
Catharsis, vengeance, boredom, as a warning to the rest of the world? Your reasons are all your own. :)
can I flame anonymously?
Yes, all flametags are by default anonymous. You have the options of including a blog or online profile
link, but that's not required.
isn't this libelous and/or slanderous?
All personal name are replaced with pseudonyms (that is, fake names) to protect the
identities of subjects (even when they don't really deserve it!)
The point of flametag isn't to publicly shame specific individuals, as tempting as that might be.
Rather, the goal of flametag is to identify and
tag certain profiles and patterns. And, of course, it is meant to provide entertainment. (In German,
it's known as
Schadenfreude.)
where do I sign up?
You don't sign up. You can simply
click here to create your tag.
who's idea was this anyway?
It was Meadow's. Blame her.
