Almost worse than Chris' secret manlove problem.  Almost.

I hate you a little bit more right now. If it weren't for your infatuation with Calvin and Hobbes like me, I'd ... I'D... crap I don't even know what I'd do.

BOOG, hold me... :cry:

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

This is one of the reasons that I hate why boards have a post count. Some people, not all, think they should have special rules because they have more posts.

Another thing. The swear filter is kind of like TV censorship. Like on TV you can't say the word "d**k" as in insulting someone. But you can use it as another word for penis and you could say "my d**k is a d**k" and get away with it. It's confusing :laugh: it was on something I caught a glimpse of on Comedy Central where comedians were figuring out how to slip in jokes without getting bleeped :laugh:

Today on a very special Dr. Phil....

:laugh:

This thread cannot be used to complain about previous warnings. If that continues then the thread will be closed.

Wanted to make it clear I wasn't complaining about mine. Just drove me crazy I couldn't remember why I got warned. I'm over it now. My OCD has calmed down :p

It was more the people who are saying things like:

"I got a warning just because I told someone to try another forum"

when in reality they said:

"go find another forum you (snipped) (snipped) (snipped)"

yea i look at a post and i see the *snipped* and im thinking *doh* i missed what they said!! :cry: :laugh:

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?

How do you do it? I've been here for so long and still have to receive my first warn, not that I want it though. If you like it so much you can start by behaiving. Your warn leven does decrease when you behave well. May that be a motivation.

I stopped screwing up around here a long time ago. I'v had issues with mods, messed around with the wrong group (neowin.network oh what a hassle), and have posted things I shouldn't have.

Iv become alot less of a poster these days, but I still read daily. I pretty much forgot about my 100%'er, just have a good time here.

I had never been warned in my 2 years before becoming a mod and my main forum is RWI! Honestly though, it is common sense, if you feel the need to call some one an idiot or any insult, think about why you are doing it, then just respond to his post more thoughtfully, it will only make you look better. Be the bigger man and just try to keep it civil. The only rules I have read are from when people post them in threads and also when I have to warn someone.

Don't know if this has been said or not but, When I got in trouble oce I had to do community service.

Why not make the guys here with high warnings do some type of community service to bring their warning level down a bit?

Just an Idea. btw, I have a zero warning and don't plan on getting any either. :)

Lol, wanna hear something funny? I posted a classified in my local paper today for my iBook and left with out giving my phone number, I completely forgot. Now that was stupid of me.

example? :p

you probably looking at the members customer user Title.

No, it says it as there Group. It might just be that they were banned, and I just now looked at a post by them, so therefore it would have banned by there Group.

I think I'm confusing my self. :pinch:

Ive had my main account suspended due to a personal quarrel with a mod,and a harmless post addressed to some mods at neowin...it all started with a warning regarding a torrent to a game which I actually owned...yeah. Kinda pathetic, since no swear words were even used or anything. Two week timeout was given!? I used a bugmenot account to login...didnt do anything bad at all (made a 1000$ post thing..which was infact real) and was banned along with my main account, shortly.

It really sucks to lose an account with a ton of posts, decent too, I may add. I just want to be left alone now. If this revelation gets me banned...then I really dont know what to say. Im being honest here, so hopefully not.

If a mod wants to pm me or anything, we can talk about it lol..instead of a ban.

    • NirLauncher 1.30.24 by Razvan Serea NirLauncher is a suite of more than 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. 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.

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.

    • 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.
