msg43 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I think we should be able to see everyone warning and why there were warned. It like jail you can see if someone is in jail and why. This would become extremely helpful in deciding to buy or give help to a member. I wouldn't want to give help to snoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danellis Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Although I guess for some it might be easier I personally don't think I need it. As far as I know I'm only on 1. There isn't really an excuse for not knowing your warn (unless you don't get the PM). If I'm wrong though perhaps fred666 or another mod might be able to PM me my warn :) EDIT: Just realised I contradicted myself about 3 times in that post :pinch:.

Hypoxiaicon Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 me, for example, got a warning for calling someone an "idiot". quite pathetic. so yes, ask a moderator. 585985292[/snapback] Ditto :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted May 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 29, 2005 For the record, I will always give out a warning if I see an insult (like idiot or smacktard) used against another member regardless of whether you have 100 posts of 20,000 posts. Neowin is supposed to be a friendly place where people can come and ask a question without being **** upon. If you don't like a post then report it but do not retaliate. Do not call them an idiot even if they have it printed on their shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted May 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 29, 2005 I love the people crying a river because they broke a rule. God damn people, grow a set and own up to your mistakes. If you can't communicate without calling someone childish names, the problem is yours, not ours. As for being able to see why people were warned and such, no way. You shouldn't need incentive to not help someone. Regardless of a person's warning, they are entitled to help as long as their posting privileges have not been revoked. It's the entire foundation of this community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the middle of a heated argument, I may have suggested to a member for them to forcibly insert a diploma into their....well, I'll leave that one up to your imagination. I deserved it, but I think it was worth it :rofl: The staff member (I won't name names) was quite polite about it though, and I knew that I was in the wrong. Even gave me some quick advice for not getting pulled into these flame-wars. Ahh, we need more Staff Members like Seargent Schultz :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Grey Member Posted May 30, 2005 Member Share Posted May 30, 2005 In the past when it was visible, you could not see others' warning levels, just your own. 585985505[/snapback] Yep, the good old days....

ryan420 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 as for being able to apeal your warning that would be a cool and innovative option especially when the other person was an assclown (lol) to begin with so i second this motion all in favor.............

Vykranth Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I got a warning because I tried to use my absolutely defective sense of humor and I really deserved it. Served me right. More seriously, being able to see one's own warning level sound like a good idea. Another suggestion would be to add more information about the warning level in the site FAQ. There are several threads in 'Site & Forum Issues' with valuable information about it. Finally, Radish mentioned in another thread that the administrators were looking into lowering the warning level after a certain amount of time Any more information about it?

It wouldn't be a warning if it was permanent. I got warned in a torrent thread. Some pirate bay (its a torrent site) fan-boy was saying it would never go down. I noticed it was down, so I simply asked "why is (the site) down then?". I knew I shouldnt link the torrent site, so I said the name followed by "dot org" in order to escape being warned.. ....but I was warned. :p The mod was cool though. He's a good mod - Chad. He said he wouldn't normally warn me for that, but had to because he warned a whole bunch of us. btw, if you're warned once, what's your level?

rojack Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 if the warning level was visible to everyone, surely some individuals would see this as a way of gaining notoriety/infamy... attempting to be the biggest bad-ass on the site, etc ... collect warnings all the way to the threshold of a ban then revert to mr. nice-guy and cruise the boards with a nasty reputation... or is that just wishful thinking on my own behalf :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRogers Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 May I ask.... What would happen if you were a Subscriber and you got a profile restriction, would you make a "Subscriber (Profile Restricted)" or would they lose their membership?

I don't recall what it displays. Warnings and restrictions do not affect a members subscriber status (i.e. you won't be unsubscribed) and the subscriber status does not affect whether or not you get warnings or restrictions (everyone is fair and equal game).

Fred Derf Veteran Posted May 30, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 30, 2005 iv been in contact with 2 admins about my name change, have not recieved a pm back 585990074[/snapback] Give them at least 48 hours to respond. Admins have members asking them things, they have subscriber payments and email accounts to set up, they have Supervisors, smods and mods asking them for things all the time. The higher up the food chain you go, the slower the response time simply because they have more duties and responsiblities. Not the least of which is collecting ad revenue and paying the bandwidth bills to keep this site a going concern. If you have PMed an Admin then you have gone right to the very top of the food chain. Patience is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raditz Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Ditto :rolleyes: 585986817[/snapback] Yup, same. i 'personally attacked' someone by calling him an idiot for trolling... :rolleyes: And the mods didn't notice it till four weeks :blink: Please be aware that I have come across a post from four weeks ago where you called another member and idiot. Yes, the person was trolling/spamming but you cannot take matters into your own hands and attack the member personally."Go away. Troll. pinch.gif This is the Customizing Windows 98SE/ME/2000 section and your doing nothing but spamming. Hope idiots like you get banned soon. rolleyes.gif" The post originally appeared in this thread but it has subsequently been removed: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=220730 Please be more respectful of members in the future even if they are themselves less than angels.
