What's the difference between trolling and flaming?

My second ban was ridiculous. I stated a fact and I got banned. The first one I can see why, but the second one was uncalled for.


Complaining about moderation outside of threads for that cause are against the rules here.

Trolling would be to mock an object normally, saying something like "The vita is shit"

Flaming would be attacking the fans of something or someone specifically, "ganoncrotch/people who love a vita is/are a moron/s for loving the vita"

Flamebaiting is another thing to be very careful of on here at times, someone starting a thread like "every vita fan is an idiot" and including an OP which has several attacks on the fanbase which obviously will gather some replies telling the OP to go shove their opinion where the sun doesn't shine and then the OP or anyone else will report the attacks on the OP, while the OP of those threads will normally get their thread locked and possibly moderated too the members who break the rules by flaming the OP in the thread still all get punished regardless of how the OP may be "asking for it"
