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.

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

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.

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...

WOW, 80%????

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

586842920[/snapback]

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.

can you appeal actually appeal once a warning has been give?

586842985[/snapback]

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.

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%.

How hard is it to just follow the rules?

586843825[/snapback]

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!!

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:

586843859[/snapback]

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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
