i say make this forum viewable to subscribers only :) That way nosey people will have to pay to see ban and warn reasons :)

Why? It's not about nosey people...

@johnnyftw: Yes you can but remember, dynamic.

Hmmm... Causing trouble for the trouble-makers? Hmmmm...

well i just don't get the whole thing of making things public why/when/who and whatnot. it will only create threads of people complaining and/or complaining and will cause extra work for the staffers...that's just my opinion.

Cant you ban by IP Address?

Yes, forums ban by IP address. In the case of dynamic IP's we just have to re-ban when we see the poster back on the forum. Eventually the individuals give up and go haunt someone else. At my forum, in the rare instances when we do need to ban someone we also delete his or her accout.

Not only that but people who live in the same district could also find themselves banned for no reason.

Ive hit 100% at least twice and Im still here, I think I was down to 40% warning when I had a break from posting, then got a couple of warnings just for the fun of it and went back up to 80%.

To be honest, I couldnt care less about warnings lol, they arent going to stop me from saying what I feel like saying.

Then maybe we should ban you and be done with it, no? Very few people have got the chances you have. The least you can do is comply with the rules we lay out.

Radish?

Hopefully it will stop you from breaking them again, I know my current 20% was an accident but I learnt now to mention what I mentioned before.

You must be very proud of yourself.

Maybe not, but decency, respect and maturity should at least prevent you from typing unecessary/warnable/bannable things. That is if you have those qualities intact.

Everyone makes a mistake or two, but multiple mistakes... Try learning from wrong doings.

Warnings for the "fun of it"? :sleep:

Warning 1 - Aug 29 2006

Warning 2 - Sep 22, 2006

Warning 3 - Sept 5, 2007

Warning Reduction 1 - Mar 21, 2007

Warning Reduction 2 - Mar 3, 2008

I'm at 20% right now, the time difference between the warnings and reductions is odd to say the least...

Actually, the time differences make perfect sense.

Warning 1 - Aug 29 2006

Warning 2 - Sep 22, 2006

Reduction 1 - Mar 21, 2007

Warning 3 - Sept 5, 2007

Reduction 2 - Mar 3, 2008

You got your first warning, then a second one before the 6 month auto-reduction. After that second warn, there was a six month gap, then an auto-reduction. You were good at following the rules :p for six months, then warned, 6 months later auto-reduced. The reason the last reduction is two days ahead nstead of 1 was it was a leap year this year most likely.

Odd however that you were a good poster for a year though with no warnings, those 6 month gaps are interesting, you planning another warn this September, maybe try a late august this time? haha j/k :p

Those warnings came after I left the Windows modding community and got into gaming instead. Let's just say there were quite a few heated discussions in the Sony forum.

Oh so its reduction every 6 months? Not 6 months after the warning itself? So that means I have another 6 months before I'm at 0%? :D

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
