Warn = 100%?

[jokeripa]

What happens when your warn level gets to 100%, do you get banned?

My warn level is at 80%, and will probably soon get raised for some stupid reason.

I really like it here at Neowin, Im on here everyday, I dont try and get it raised but it just does every so often.

So what happens at 100?

WOW, 80%????

I have some vicious posts at times (idiocy annoys me) but am only at 40% (and VERY ashamed of it).

[Intersect]

i have never had a warning that i didnt know about. unless i got one when that personal warn level wasnt on the board.

you must have done some realy dumb things on here to get your warning level up that far.

[theyarecomingforyou]

Is it really that hard to behave yourself? NEway, 100% doesn't mean a ban but it's really not good. Perhaps you should take a break from the forum and leave it time to drop down.

[windows95isg8]

You cant post, if your on 100%

So try and be good.

It takes 6 months for it too drop by 20%.... and thats only if you dont do anything wrong!

It was just stupid little things like 'circumventing' the swear filter....

The last one I got was because I said what percentage my torrent was at? I thought that one sucked...

Whoa! At least I know I'm in good company, then :p

Idiots annoy me as well, and especially idiots who are so much like sheep that they'll believe anything that the "liberal/leftist" media complex will shove down their gullet (i.e. "Fahrenheit 9/11", 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists, etc.), and I've been very vocal here about it in the past, whereas today I just sit back and laugh at them.

Enjoy the show! :woot:

Well, you should have thought about that before you got so many warnings. I'm certainly not stupid enough to circumvent the swear filter... that's asking for a warning and it shows a distinct lack of restraint and understanding; and I assume the torrent warning was regarding an illegal program? Six months off might do you good and give you time to appreciate why you come here.

I have never had a warning, simply because I know how to behave myself :D

Saying that I will probably get one today...

Yes. I received a warning after a mod misinterpreted what I had meant in a post... a few friendly PM's later and the matter was resolved and the warning removed. I'm now more careful what I write and make sure it can't be misinterpreted, as I come here for enjoyment and to share my views :), not to annoy other people.

[shockz]

Wow a ton of incorrect information...

Forget about all the other posts and just look at this one:

When you get to 100% that means your pretty much out of luck when you get warned after that. You can still post at 100%... you still have all normal permissions a regular member does. However when warned to 100% depending on what you did and how many times you broke a specific rule you may recieve a restriction for 24, 48 hours... or ones up to 1 month. That depends on the situation.. however most members just receive a warn and contiune posting without a restriction.

We have members who are past their 100% warn level and have the equviliant of 160-200% after countless restrictions. These are usually members who have been here a long time and are one step away from being completely banned if they do anything wrong.

Don't get me wrong... people can be banned when they only have 20% warns... it does't happen a lot, but sometimes the rule breakage is so severe that they just can't continue to participate on the forums...

Getting a 100% warn isn't good... and it pretty much means you will get a restriction if you continue to break the rules.

What I usually do when I warn somebody to 100% I look at their warn history... if previous warns are for breaking the same rules... (for example flaming) and the person continues to flame... I will give them a restriction (usually 1, 2 week or a month restriction) as their previous warns are for the same thing. If the person is warned for 100% and is something different then what the member usually does when they break the rules... most of the time I will give them a 24 hours restriction with the warn or just up it to 100%.

I'm at 20% and can't even remember what for. Surprised it's not higher honestly.

But I've been a really good boy lately and I deserve a Scooby Snack :angry:

:p

How hard is it to just follow the rules?

Very easy, but sometimes it takes a warning to get your point across

Its spectacularly easy to break the rules. I got bumped 20% for only using one asterisk to 'blur' out a swear word rather than 3 or 4. So, assuming the word duck was a swear word, I wrote d*ck and got a 20% warning for it.

I didnt even realise doing something like that would constitute breaking the rules or, as I was told 'circumventing the swear filter' but apparently it was.

And its not like i'm out to cause trouble.. i've been here 4 years, and am in my mid 20's!!

[Intersect]

duck is not a sware word, but the other world for richard on here is.

I'm probably the only female with 80% of warning :laugh: still don't understand why, just to say some people stupid is far anough to get a warning, Neowin became too strict that looks like a Church :blink:

Wow with you being female and all, iam suprised that you havent been made a Mod

its a fact of life on the internt. if some one happens to be female the seem to get auto ops in irc. they get mad a mod with in 5 minuts if signing up to a forum.

sorry if what i have said sounds sexist in anyway, i didnt meen to make it sound that way.

alot of the guys here will know what iam talking about.

neowin has to be strict because there are lots of n00bs that come here and think that the rules dont apply to them.

its a tough job being a mod on here, i dont think i could handel that and a full time job.

[pickleman]

IMO the rules are a strict attempt at using Capatalism to enforce your own set of beliefs down the throats of the common folk.

An attempt to keep the man down is what it is.

Power to the people brothers! Let me hear you say it!

:yes: :devil:
