Same with the BW and CoH. YOU GUYS JUST DONT GET IT!

If they flame you when you lose, they did this to feel they are "better", "smarter" - to show you how infinitely inferior you are.
If they flame you when you win, they did this becouse you prove them they are not that smart as they pretend to be

Never has happened to me. You're just very unlucky to face people who act so poorly.

I've done it, the player decided to fly his buildings away and decided to not quit. Not flaming really, just taunts, and stuff like "why do you want to do this loser" etc. In fact that is the only time I flame,when I lose, I just want to get the hell out and watch teh replay and move on to the next game.

If you do a lot of all-ins especially as Terran its funny but people are as likely (more likely?) to flame you when they hold it off as when they die to it. Its very strange to me. However, I very rarely get flamed by a winner of a "normal" game. Also:

short games=lots of rage (because of aforementioned allins that people are illogically prejudiced against)
medium games=little rage
very long games=TONS of rage but only on loss (because you had so much invested in the game it REALLY sucks to lose it, this is the only time I feel even a little raged)

If you give the attention to these people who want it, it won't stop. Keep that in mind, just ignore and move on.

It's pretty simple.
While I can't read the minds of every player it's safe to assume they're just mad that they lost.
Everyone handles a loss in their own way, flaming is a way to vent that frustration I guess.
This is what seperates champions from the mediocre.

i had a guy marine scv me. it pissed me off. i got something along the lines of l2p stupid noob scrub Nigger or something.

i challenged him to a rematch he refused. 3 games later i end up with the same dude. so naturally i rape his cheesy bullshit, and he flames again about how i should l2p and stop roach rushing.

moral of the story? people who rage will flame you whether you win or lose because it makes them feel better about how bad they are. if it gets to you, you shouldn't be playing online games. stop being so Damn sensitive. if i guy you will never see makes you feel bad about losing a game, first go hug a puppy then uninstall.

really this doesn't even deserve discussion. its not achieving anything except killing your ego and boosting theirs.

for the 3rd time Im this thread (even though this thread is pointless anyway) its about people flaming you after they beat you. people really should read before they post

Because they want to express their love.
Let them know how much you love them back. Ask for their address and once they give it to you, send them a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates shaped in a heart. Invite them on dinner to a French resturant and get to know each other. Once you get to know each other, you can move onto the next step and try to kiss. If he is not ready, he is not ready and you should wait until the second, third and even fourth date until you try to kiss. After seeing each other a few more times, maybe you guys can move onto the next level and try to make some true love. I advise that you should always make sure that your partner is fine with having sex, as are you. Once then, we can then decide which house we would like to move in and get married. Ask him if he would like to move in with you. If not, ask the vice versa. If he says no to both, then you will just have to move on and see other fish in the sea, as this one is still making it's journey through the romantic life. If he says yes to one of them, then congratulations. You are in love forever and you can get married. I recommend getting a wedding in June, since June is the symbol of love and affection. This just adds depth and meaning to the date you are married. Once you are married then you must split the bills and maybe even have kids. I advise against getting a dog until you have kids, as taking care of a dog will be hard since you will both be at work, maintaining different incomes.
Once you are all set with kids, then get them a nice college fund so they can meet some more BM people on starcraft and get married to THEM!
I hope this post helped you.

3/5 is really bad, generally i have 2 nice and 1 flamer persons out of 10. The rest barely says more then glhf. It seems a few think that glhf somehow triggers flamers, especially the gg at the end seems to taunt those people. Like many mentioned they never think it was a good game, either they crushed you or you did some cheese that doesn't count.
Just move on and stay true to your standards.

problem with "ignore them too" is the 1 message you get always after the game without chance to block
and normaly i dont thought they do cause i understand when they LOSE but ... they WON and i said gg ...

things like this removes the fun to play this game alot ...
i really sometimes think i have to change my gamestyle just to not get flamed

and also there is no chance to say anything for me since they only flames AFTER game and ignore me instant before i said more then "gg wp" thats frustrates

Well this has never happened to me but I imagine you should just ignore it and move on... I think you have just met a bad group of people :S however you should probably wait a min before you hit that button because it may be awkward to play them again :D
