Flame

Flame may refer to any of the following:

1. In Adobe Photoshop, Flame is an available effect that can be added to pictures. See our Photoshop Flame page for further information.

2. Alternatively called flamage or flaming, a flame is a demeaning comment made to newsgroup or another user. They are usually sent in response to another posting or message. The person doing the flaming is called a flamer and could be looked down upon if they are not providing constructive criticism.

People who want controversy may make a provocative post also known as flamebait. These types of posts are intended to cause anger and make others want to flame the OP (original poster) and start a flame war. For example, someone may create a post saying how they believe a new game sucks. Of course, anyone who enjoys the game will be angry by these types of posts and try to defend the game.
