Cookie, I have two warnings and my posts are not being moderated unless someone stole one of them when I wasn't looking.

 

One for the STFU N00B thread and one for harassin' Adria.

Advise for Newbies: If in Moderated Mode don't make your alt resemble your screen name... unless you really love us reading your posts... "

Yeah, when you get your second then there will be a temporary moderated status...

Easy come, easy go.

Yep.

 

And yeah, I guess I was put on moderated status for a week after the second one, I was talking about the indefinite moderated status they put you on after your third though. Course I just made an alt during that week, the password for which is now long forgotten. Phoenix87 if you guys want to delete it or something.

I haven't gotten a single warning for my spewing spam. At least not any warnings that I remember, though I am sure I ticked off a mod or three here and there and gotten close.

Yeah right.

I haven't. Seriously.

Yeah

 

Anyways, we sometimes make exceptions for the really desperate cases where 1 warning also gives mod status...

I think it all depends on the severity of the transgression. If something is really really really bad and distasteful, an instant ban might be needed. If it looks like someone was just having a bad day moment a slap on the wrist and a reminder of forum rules only be needed.

I'm not surprised about Haderis' lack of warnings. He isnt malicious or offensive and isnt a hyperactive spammer. He's a good guy, obstinacy and moroseness notwithstanding.

Some of us let our emotions take charge when it deals with serious topics, which is why we avoid those.

Politics & Religion are two of the biggest emotional button pushers...

 

My ex-wife's father is a Colonel, USMC (ret.) ... when they'd move around often to different bases and even countries, there was usually a reminder session or commercials on the military radio reminding people that Religion and Politics are two very heated issues, and to handle those with care when mingling with your fellow families.

 

I like to keep my personal views on religion and politics rather guarded, because they're, well, personal. But, I don't mind getting into an intellectual (not heated or filled with logical fallacies like appeals to faith or value judgements, etc.) discussion on those topics now and then.

 

OK, I think I just derailed this train...

Which is why I try to avoid them, especially religion.

Periods of time with too many threads with this type of hostile environment is why I stop posting at places - and as Gab said, why I avoid joining in a lot of topics, sometimes, too. Know your limits, as they say. :ph34r:

I have yet to learn that lesson, unfortunately. In fact, the only unofficial warning I got was when I got carried away in one of those arguments and ended up flaming metadigital with(out) provocation. And I was reported by CoF, of all people.

 

Fio is a she, by the way.

What, so just because I'm a forum badass I can't occassionally play by the rules when it suits my purposes too?!

 

Piffle.

Ban plz!

after reading that, mothman, i think that was totally in character for CoF to do.

I just found it amusing considering he never seemed to care any other time. And...what the heck?!! How come he's allowed to have a gigantic sig and nobody else is? Shenanigans! :angry:

I don't think his sig. is that particularly gigantic... but I do think it's really unfair that I got told off (albeit, nicely) for mine and had the section on sigs. in the Forum Guidelines quoted to me, when there's clearly others who also break the "rules" on sig. sizes... it seems the moderators have adopted their previous state of inconsistency again... either that or... where's Pixies... because I have a feeling this is a conspiracy :ph34r:

"Users may also create a signature that appears at the end of every post.

Such signatures should remain at six(6) lines or less of text without imagery,

or at most two(2) lines of text with imagery.

All images, regardless of text configuration, must fit within a perimeter of 125 pixels high by 600 pixels wide."

 

i don't like CoF's sig. either because it has the disturbing strawberry lady and is really big. and mothy, sorry to break it to you, but you violate the code too...

i think your alternative sig. works well though. as for pixies... where the heck is he?

Don't be hatin' on the Shortcake.

I like this part of his sig

The name sure is quite feminine. His antics would rather remind you of a male buffalo from time to time, though...
