Warning System... I'm perplexed!

I think the mods can see your warning level and comments, so its not like every mod will mistakenly jump on you for something like that.

If, after being told you did a no-no, you proceed to call K-hat an asshat, say something about Dave's mother, mock Greg for his rather homosexual goatee, call Paul's state a tumor on the belly of Canada, call Sean a Republican, etc etc, you will likely get toasted and be banned.

Once banned, I think that it will be discussed among the mods as to whether you're gone for a week to cool off, or you are just a cheating scumbag trying to take advantage of people on the bombs/trades and you deserve a lifelong ban.

These mods, besides being good guys, pride themselves on the No Snob/Clean Slate/No need to kiss FOG ass personality that this site has. You will not be banned for poor spelling, lack of paying tribute, or any crap like that. Just don't go looking for trouble and it will not find you.


***Disclaimer: This is only my interpretation of the rules. And all the comments I made about the mods were only in jest and used as an example


Except the one about Greg

[SIZE=4] Exactly, and I mean Exactly what he said! [SIZE=2](Except the part about the tumor.)[/SIZE][/SIZE]

If you continue to put grapes up your nose, you'll likely get dinged.

First...the system is a good one. This place isnt looking to ban people just to ban people. If you are on the launching pad you probably did something seriously stupid to provoke the FOG's anger. You screw up at least you know you screwed up and you can make ammends. With that said Im still in favor of the AssOmeter.

[tetraplegic]

don't be an asshat..... i can handle that.



*except maybe to the Oompa Lumpa... but i'll limit that to in-person.

Thanks, Doc... We've had a couple of PMs, and I think you know that I'm not out to cause a ruckus by any means!

"Forum," according to Webster's (a rather crappy but nonetheless universal reference) is ("b") "a public meeting place for open discussion."

JEEZ!!! I made the OP only because I was trying to get a handle on this warning system thing! I'm not a shoe-bomber... Hell, my wife won't even allow me to wear pointy shoes out to the barn, for fear that I amy stumble and stab myself!

Ahh well... Guess I'' finish up here, then head on down to the Non-Hubanos... Still have some more dumb questions about aging!

Evidently,I was the first ass big enough to get hit with the assometer!

[QUOTE=pds]

The written rules are obvious, as they are written. The unwritten ones revolve around basic respect. What do you do when two users continually bate and flame each other in a thread, making CS a less enjoyable experience for everyone else? What about users that come from other forums just to stir up things here? The mods can't keep track of every incident, nor can we spend the time to constantly be PM'ing folks who get abusive.

The warning system allows a user to be pinged. The system remembers it, and if they accumulate warnings, they eventually are banned.

Thank you, sir... I believe that you said it all in a single sentence:

"The unwritten ones revolve around basic respect."

You've answered my OP, and restored my faith in CS as a democracy.

Am I sorry that I opened this thread?

No.... In fact, from what I've read so far, I think it has done something to SOLIDIFY the resolve of this forum... To be open, honest, respectful, and always eager to learn more from our peers.

Holy Molley!!! Damned ash just burned a hole through my sock... Gotta' go!!!

Assometer
Love-O-Meter
