Can someone please explain what is flamebait and why it is harmful enough to be given warning points?

Bait that has been flamed

Saying someone is ugly regardless of the way you communicate it.

So if noone flames the bait, it isn't flamebait and should therefore not be warned?

I got a flamebait warning the other day because I said some guy stuck under a bed was looking for Azlelia Banks' unreleased album, that should give you an accurate example

Apparenty, saying a song is trash is also flamebait nowadays. Interesting new set of rules

or maybe

you leave the bait down, and then flamers run and try to get it
then someone gets it and people get petty so they start a fight
but you started it all so you're the one that gets in trouble

hah i just figured it out ! genius tbh

Anything mods think is flamebait
e.g. calling taylor the lord and your fave

So saying something creative and funny and harmless is flamebait nowadays?

So if your intention was not to start a fight but to simply voice out your opinion, it is not flamebait?

Flamebait is the act of posting something that seems to be fishing for an argument.

Gaga is less attractive than Katy Perry.

"Seems". That is such a powerful word.

Lies

Anything that is intentionally made to cause a fighting.

Atrl mods´ explanation: When I want to give you WP for any reason.

wasnt it reported for nicknames ?

It seems that flamebait really is a matter of perception. I feel bad for you

No

Judging by your warning history, OP, you should know what it is already
