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.

      Ideally, the algorithm is smart enough to see the real sender ID and non-spoofed address to block it. Ideally.
