    Ah its good, been back to it a few times, although it bugs me that they are making billions off it. When you said gold farming i assumed you knew what I would say.

    And it was a shiot 1500th post.

    I do honestly feel burned, I left myself rather open. But I was just telling them as they were trying to tarnish by street cred.

    1500 Isn't really a milestone number, nothing compared to 1000

    Well we'll see what Feedback thinks of that!!! :pac:

    Ah no, "get a clue" is not personal abuse. Thats a bit of a bummer of a Boards experience, but brush it off and move on. Im sure Ivan isnt a bad lad.
    Watch some porn if ya cant sleep. Enjoy work.

    I don't really see how people can look at it as NOT being personal abuse?

    There was no need to place it at the end of the post at all,

    If you felt that you were in the right and Ivan was "clueless", why not let your post show that you are right?

    You didn't need "get a clue" in there, it is personal abuse, albeit mild.

    Is telling someone to "get a clue" in those exact words considered personal abuse?
    Also Arguing your case in a "passive-aggresive" manner?

    I seem to have recieved a warning based on those 2 aforementioned criteria.

    Okay, here's how it is.

    Mods use the term "Personal Abuse" sometimes when the phrase really doesnt fit ... but its the best option they have. Really what they want to say is "Stop being a dick". Now while that would be personal abuse its usually spot on.

    So mayordenis while you didnt personally abuse anyone you were "being a dick" - and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

    Ok thats that cleared up.

    Reads history of thread,ohhh now i see. Yes,what 6th said. Workin overtime for more c and h yeah? ;) mods have predefined boxes to tick for infractions,being naughty could also be used,but that'd be argued as wrong too. Its hard to fit everything into one thing.

    For what it's worth, he came into a thread he hadnt posted in and took a comment and made it about something else. He already stated he was incorrect in that respect.

    He then proceeded to be overly agressive and condescending in a way that was totally unnecessary for what he wanted to say.

    If it werent directed at me, I probably would have given an infraction, since it was directed at me I tried not to take it to heart and debated the merit of his post. And then politely asked him to stop being so aggressive.

    When he accused me of throwing my proverbial modding weight around I asked him to take it to feedback.

    Perhaps I could have chosen my words more carefully, I regret now not doing so, but as 6th so kindly pointed out... well, I would never be quite so blunt especially when adding my own input to the thread in the same post.

    I apologise for not being more clear in my warning but I stand behind the meaning of the message.

    Carlow IT vs Waterford IT. Hmmm. There was always friction between these two, usually because Waterford IT is much bigger and more superior.

    ah yes - I stopped reading that thread because it had degenerated in to a "my e-dick is bigger that your e-dick". And you were a part of that. It's only an infraction - suck it up big boy.

    I agree Waterford is by far the bestest village in Wexford.

    I intended to read the thread/posts until I saw it was world of warcraft, so I just can't bring myself to do it.

    Also, an in thread warning is hardly a disaster. I assume it wasn't an infraction due to the mods can't infract mods weirdness, but even if it was no biggie tbh. In general though telling someone to get a clue in itself is not worthy of an infraction/warning, but in the right context with other replies etc taken into account it might make itself worthy of a warning of some kind in thread.

    In general sounds like like a knickers in a twist in thread spat that needed to be calmed down a bit. I notice you said earlier mayordenis that in your forum you don't in thread warn, you only ban or infract. Personally I think in thread warnings can avoid the need for a lot of the latter if you catch a brewing argument. Sometimes you know it will pass, so leave them argue, but other times due to the subject matter, or the people arguing, you know it is going to get out of hand (in my experience anyhow) so a pre warning, or a 'calm down ffs' can help.

    My 2c.

    Henceforth, the phrase "get a clue" is to be replaced by the nicer phrase "obtain a hint".

    That is all.

    Hang on and hold up a bloody minute here people.
    This gent has a case. Rock solid case.
    You just said "get a clue"?
    Has anyone ever ever in the history of boards been on thread warned for saying that ever before in the history of ever? If it wasnt directed at the mod of the forum directly it would never have been highlighted as a potential issue.
    The gamesmaster was abusing his power.

    Gamesmaster loses one life. Lets hope he doesnt find some chicken on the floor and eat it to boost his health bar.
