Flame War Detector
Uses language algorithm to detect heated arguements happening on the internet right now! | |
The code would:
1) search message boards all over the Internet for places where two posters alternate post which contain words commonly found in Internet arguments.
2)Once it is established that a flame war is indeed occurring, the code will parse questions contained in the arguments (ie. statements
ending in a question mark) and check to see if key words in the question are referenced in subsequent posts by the person the question was addressed to.
3)Using this and other similar evaluation methods, a picture (eg. from flamewarriors dot com) will be ascribed to each participant and a score will be given.
the result will be posted on an aggregator type website.

Entertain. People would compete to get the highest ratings; or, conversely, accuse each other of being flamers, now with computer backing. I could see someone enjoying this. |

@jutta, sounds like what 21 quest thinks what halfbakery is. . . |

I had to bun this. While others would find this invention as a good way to find an argument, I would use this to avoid walking into the middle of one. As soon as I log on to a website, I would like to know which threads contain inflamatory subjects so I can avoid them. |
|

loon, do you get it now? I know it is not much, but there are more trivial sites which do very well. |
|
| |
I still am at a loss: Consider this excerpt of a flame war, and thell me what would happen to the thread, the posters, and anyone else anything is happening to: |
|
| |
A: So Linux sucks, in my opinion.
B: Are you a fucking Nazi?
A: No, but you are a fucking Nazi!
B: lol. omg. YOU SUCK!!11!! |

[note the question mark, and the repetition of common flaming words] |

loon, this exchange simply would not make the cut. flamewar detector has higher standards than that. |
|

Some sites post a little flame icon next to topics that are determined to be "under fire" by admins or user vote. Since the character of flaming varies by topic and maturity of users the "flame detector" is going to need to look for key sentence structures, cross references, and other patterns (???) using a human identified set of "flame war" references. |

WcW, yes, an index of strings similar to but much more robust than the mfd section of te help file here would be a good point of departure. |
