I got warned for posting a Conan interview. Understandable... I guess.

Now how come I can remember when this person was warned and can't even remember when or why I got my 20% :laugh:

Someone said something about how a mod can look up a warn history on a person? So could one of them tell me what it was I did because it's been driving me nuts that I can't remember since this thread started :laugh:

I have a touch of OCD...seriously....I need to know :p

what's great is us brits can use swear words that the americans don't use or know what they mean, and the mod's don't do anything about it if you circumvent the swear filter with them

Not that i do :whistle:

Yeah, but they aren't swear words anyway.

If I say, "I was acting a right dick" That isn't swearing, and it's not circumventing the filter.

If they _were_ swear words, then they'd be filtered.

One word that I cannot believe is filtered is the word ******. Ah, yes, pretty asterisks. Let me put it in a meaning that isn't used as a insult.

Bastardsword.

I once or twice tried to use the word bastardsword, and found out it was filtered.

I mean HOW CAN YOU FILTER ******!? :D

That was changed when I noticed that bastardization was being filtered.

As in "His prose was a bastardization of the english language."

It has legitimate uses.

I didnt even agree with my 20% warning, i know it'll go soon, and I know I won't get any more but when i got it, it was for putting a message in someone's sig but I did it from another forum, and it reacted it onto neowin which is my main forum and I got the warning but I left it about a week before looking at why and that then I was gonna reply back to the admin but i thought i won't get it took away because I took so long to reply as well :huh:

I'm now at 40% for 2 stupid reasons:

1)I made a topic for a request, which I never got, and because my friend made himself an account a neowin after I posted on the same computer to make another topic on the same subject (He wanted it too...). I replied to this warning but, hey, or this moderator doesn't check his PM often, or he's not very open for discussion, even if it's not my fault.

2)I made a topic about a problem on a...ahem, not very legal version of WB, well you understand...and got warned again.

But I didn't know it could become lower

I've always wondered why this is here:

"Help, requests or posts that discuss circumvention. This includes linking to illegally obtained software, movies & music files - posting about it, and suggesting to get it."

It's a bit broad, like... You could be saying "You should not be Pirating software" Technically, that is breaking the rule... Because you are posting about it.

you can also get warned by attempting to use binary in attempted humor, don't work so well, but I am touched people took the time to transplate it. Either that or they where LEET and translated it on the spot

Yes, I'll remember not to reply to you next time ;) :laugh:

Hahaha,

Oh wow, my first reaction was to attempt and correct you, but honestly I don't know where to start. So I'll just assume you were kidding instead.

All hail capitialism!

Members with a decent amount of posts 700+ should be treated with more respect than n00bs. Like get more chances or whatever.

No, everyone is equal when it comes to warnings regardless of how many posts you have.

If you have a lot of posts, we expect you to be a model member to the newer members and set an example of the community rules.

Radish?

I thought the staff area was all about manlove *sigh*  You've mislead me again I see...  :cry:

So those model's your shootin' with for your portfolio are really guys eh? Well this has come as quite a shock, I must say!

On topic however, I've been here since for quite awhile, and have never been warned. It is rather simple, just be decent human being and follow the rules. If you can't manage that it's hard to see how you can make it in the real world. I've also only made like less than 300 posts in over 3 years. That is really, really sad. Almost worse than Chris' secret manlove problem. Almost.

I have to defend the mods here. I find that they are not too harsh at all. I had one warning level because I mentioned someone about circumenting activation for a product. I didn't realise it was bad because I did tell him it was illegal and that no one was going to help him find it but I got warned anyways. I agreed with my warning and let it go. I have yet to recieve another warning and for good reason. I know the rules of the forum and I follow them to my best judgement.

The mods do a good job. Without them, this board would turn into some childish flame fest where you could get child porn at a local torrent site by signing up 5 of your friends to a tower referal system.

Ive been warned twice for simply linking to the true source of something in a comment, after that I barely visit neowin now, Winbeta has just as much news without the crappy admins who dont give credit to true sources some of the time. Ill prolly get another warning because of my opinion in this post.

i got a 20% warning for calling someone an "idiot" after responding to their off the wall post, the moderator even agreed on my response after a friendly PM but said that hte warning must remain to be fair due to the fact that i did "flame" the guy. THis wasn't your typical fight, this guy was trying to start stuff and i was basically telling him to grow up and remove himself from the topic if he can't contribute. I'm glad to hear it will be gone in 6 months, i still don't feel its justified.

This topic is now closed to further replies.
