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.

Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone. Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit.

It will not install any software on your system and it will not change your Web browser homepage or other settings on your system. NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version. NirLauncher also allows to add more software packages in additional to the main NirSoft package.

    • What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
