Have you gotten a Straight Dope warning before?

Shows the value of being slow-moving. :smiley:

Same, except 2004 (I think?)

Speak for yourself!

Since 2001, nary a warning, not even a Mod Note (that I recall).

Either I’m pure as the driven snow, or no one gives a rat’s ass what I have to say.

Yes, a few. Some deserved, some not. I have unpopular opinions, people report me a lot.

One or two “mod notes”, but no official warning.

I’ve gotten warnings but each one was premeditated and I happily took the punishment. Sometimes you simply must speak out. I count those warnings as badges of honor.

Two official warnings.

One was because I broke a rule in GD which I didn’t realize was a rule. I don’t post there very much. Nevertheless, I clearly broke the rule which was telling someone that their post was a lie.

The other was from twickster. Enough said.

Pics or it isn’t happening.

Never warned, never noted. However I have been pitted, so my soul is not quite unsullied.

Yeah, but it turned into a reverse Pitting, so it doesn’t count. It also gave us the opportunity to make puns on the names of Central Asian despots, so it was a plus.

The Warning club is bigger and more diverse than I thought; happy fellas.

No warnings.
Apparently I can post or say anything.(not according to me, it’s been said about me and my big mouth)
And…I pitted myself, as it turned out.

I still remember you jokers who didn’t come in and save me from myself. I got my eye on you.
:yum:

You add so much fun to our forum, Beck!

No warnings.

I got a note once that was completely unfair - I made a benign joke that was weirdly misread as an insult to Shodan, which is especially odd since I was one of the few posters who actually liked Shodan. But while I remember it (obviously) I didn’t protest beyond a single post defending myself. There has probably been a time or two when something I posted that deserved a note didn’t get one, so it all evens out in the end.

I can’t remember for sure but I vaguely think I might have gotten a note one other time, during Cuntgate, from Marley. If I did, it was deserved.

Thx, @Spoons, you’re nice.

We get a lot of posters who dont post much, and maybe just in games, etc, they dont get warnings, so yes- a large majority of posters dont have any warning. Of active lT posters, I would say nearly half have gotten at least one.

How do you know you get reported a lot for “unpopular opinions”? Do the mods tell you? Especially since later you say

My how things have changed! I used to be the jerk, now I am the one being called names, even by mods. I’m OK with that, that is what the Pit is for, I guess. My karma, right or wrong. But I did get some warnings or notifications or slaps in the wrist in the past, surely deserved if not downright provoqued in a hazy intoxicated state of mind.

I think I did. I can’t remember what it was for, it was so long ago, I seem to recall it being a borderline case of skirting the edge of acceptability. Not sure if whatever I did would even be noticed now, it being during a volatile time on the boards when a few Mods were more trigger happy.

Three warnings, I think; the last was in 2013. I’ve become a lot more chill in recent years.
