OMG, I got a warning! Now what?


Recommended Posts

OK, getting back on track to warnings......

I wasn't told in the PM I got how long I wasn't allowed to have a sig and an avatar for. What is the usual ban length for this?

There's no set length. If we've repeatedly had to tell someone what the guidelines are and they still managed to go wrong with their sig, it would take a lot for us to believe that this time it's finally sunk in to their head.

tut tut tut people!

i think at the end of the day, dont step out of line and you wont get warned!

ive been here what seems like forever (yes i know it hasnt been that long) and i dont think ive ever stepped into a thread and something has been done my a mod or admin that looked out of line! all i have to say is it seems to be a general consesnus that those who are complaining have got warnings (yes i know its not all so please dont come and attack me for that) personally, i just think some ego's have been hurt and people find out that their is a limit on what they can do or say on the internet no matter what you have thought in the past!

suck it up people, you stepped out of line no behave like the rest of us!

I got two warnings, one was fair the other was not.

I am sure I may deserve two more, so I will take it with a pinch of salt and stop calling people a moron, ha ha.

Life is too short to whine and moan about every detail especially as I am rough n ready.

Then why is nothing done about these rediculous examples of authority.

Because they do more for the community than the ones who are more lenient. Whilst we have power hungry mods (who are not as bad as on some boards), people will be more wary before breaking the rules.

As i already said, keep your nose clean and play nice and you will not run in to issues on Neowin.

Well, for the record, you will get a warning for calling an idiot and idiot even if they are indeed an idiot.

It is sufficient to point out their logical/factual mistakes and allow others to draw their own conclusions.

Actually the issue is unrelated to "my friend". Thanks.

I didnt check, but didnt you say earlier on in the thread that this WAS related to your friend?

So is it or isnt it? Please tell me, i dont think my head can take any more of this confusion you are bringing!

Face it though mate... neither you or your friend are going to have the warning taken off your profile unless it was a complete mistake they put it on yours.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
