    Hi guys,

    I am still wondering how i got a warning for this.

    I post asking for help, from people who may have been in the same situation as myself.

    Get abuse and tell the abuser to either help or fawk off. No abuse back, no PM's yet I get pinned for inappropriated language.

    I have not been told if it was for the tone, use of a made up word "Fawk" or what.

    All I wanted was a bit of help and got it TBH, and asked the poster to either help or not like

    He got an infraction too. You were both being bints. You both got what you deserved, or less. In future, report the post.


    ED: In fainress, it should have been "Being a spanner", not Inappropriate Language. Ah well.

    If you have a problem with another poster, you report the post instead of telling people where to go.
    You weren't banned, you got a warning. I don't see a problem with that. I don't even see why it warrents a thread. :/

    It's not as if warnings or infractions really matter. They expire...

    I wanted it explained seeing as it was not obvious to me why.
    Seeing as it was not explained clearly, I wanted to know exactly what i had done incorrectly so that I would not go off and do it again

    And, respectfully, I kinda thought what warrents a thread is anything I feel like and not you

    Unless you collect enough of them within a certain time period.

    The automatic banning may not be an issue if you keep your head down for long enough, but the infractions remain on your profile. We can keep tabs of what problems other moderators had with you. Collect enough, and it'll probably be a manual ban.

    Your probably should have used the Help Desk.
    "Sticky: This is for FEEDBACK. If you have a query, complaint or need help, use the HELPDESK."
    Sticky Blindess strikes again.

    Or, since you claim that you wanted was an explanation - would it not have made sense to ask the moderator in question?

    When did you send the PM?
    I cannot speak for any other moderator; however, I think a lot of "inappropriate" language is overlooked until it's used in an aggressive manner (or seriously overused to the point that it seems intimidating to other posters). The (c)mod seems to have just stepped in with two warnings to calm things down. We can only wait for the mod in question to answer.

    Most do it - just expect input / opinions from a lot of other people in Feedback...You won't like some of it. Do you like cats?



    It's no big deal; just a heads-up.

    I sent it on the 2nd, now to be fair I prob did not make myself super clear so I sent another today. I just wanted to see what it would have been for so I asked here (mistakenly). I do not use this place too much and, with there being dozens of forums, just wondered if it were serious or what.

    Other forums I use (only 1 really) do not have mods/warnings etc so I am fairly unaccostomed to such



    *edit
    More of a dog person myself

    Being rude is always obvious no?
    We like to think of boards as the living room of the Admins
    We'd like to think our guests know how to behave.
    We tend to think of most members being adults and don't need to have that explained to to them.
    Of course you will alway find unwanted guests wandering in, but they are shown the door.

    you told him to **** off. Normally i'd ban you for that.

    I was being lenient because the other were dicking about and back seat modding. Thy got infracted too.

    You do somebody a favour and they bitch about it....


    I can ban you and delete the thread if you prefer?

    Dude I am not being bitchy

    I was just looking for clarification so that I would not go doing it again, simple as. I did not want to take the wrong meaning from it and then go do the same thing again. I was going to thank you for not locking the thread but did not as I thought that that would have been like rubbing people up the wrong way

    I knew it, you keep tabs on us. I bet you even know what I had for breakfast. And you sell the information to heartless multimedia companys, so they can put more crap on tv to annoy me further.


    Well you can't find me when I wear my tin-foil hat.......

    And you can't ruin my fun if I don't have any.......

    according to the information in your profile, you didn't have breakfast but had a ham and cheese on brennans for lunch. You then used the tin foil it was wrapped in to make a hat, the stream was cut off at this time..

    Brennans, the dairy board and the ham makers have all been informed. The HSE will be on to you with nutrional advice about missing breakfast too..
