How many times have you been warned by an Admin or Mod?

I got warned twice.

Once when I posted a poem in my Profile that an Administrator considered offensive.

And more recently (yesterday) when I proposed sweet revenge on a poster who’d been verbally abusing me.
(Can’t give too many details, but it was kinda like sending pizzas to your enemy’s house.)

I admit I had fun both times, but in neither case was my offending post up on the boards long enough for a lot of people to enjoy it. Gawd, these people are quick!!!

So, those offenses are all played out. If I ever get warned again, it’ll be for something totally new and unexpected.

[scrounge, grovel, brown-nose] Of course I agree with their decision. I have the highest regard for admins and mods. Besides…if you’re in the habit of calling the cops, you can’t complain about being busted by the cops. :wink: [/scrounge, grovel, brown-nose]

So…how many times for you?

I’ve been warned once by a Mod. Though I wouldn’t really call it a warning; more like a suggestion.

It was about the length of my sig and I was actually glad I got it. At the time, I was not aware of the 3 line minimum preference on the part of many posters (though I know some prefer no sig line at all). Since then I’ve tried my best to keep it at 3 lines or less.
I see it as a good thing I got the suggestion. It was helpful in fighting some ignorance: mine. :slight_smile:

Never. I doubt they know I exist, which I suspect puts me in their “nameless favorite poster” category. I try to create the least amount of work possible for them.

I’ve never, ever, ever been warned. My posts are too innocuous or bland to suffer such arrows of self-righteous indignation. :wink:

Never mind. I think I just got one.

And so it goes…

I was warned in GD once, when I called another poster a sick creep, or words to that effect. Got warned real quick.

Never mind, it wasn’t a warning. I knew that! :o

Never. They love me. :smiley:

[sub]I prefer that to the idea that they’re now scratching their heads and saying “Who?”[/sub]

I’ve never been warned by any of the fucking mods around here, and I’ve never been warned by any of the goddam admins either. Even if they ever took the time to break up their daisychain they got goin between the whole miserable fuckin lot of em, Those miserable sunsabitches still wouldn’t warn me. I’m just that bad.
Unclebeer is a stupid hippy.
Veb is a perpetual jerk.
Czarcasm has his head jammed so far up his ass, he can lick his tonsils from behind.
Euty ran over my dog.
Manny is against free speech.
Chronos is consistantly wrong, and is not afraid to show it.
John Corrado is a bedwetting liberal and and communist.
Alphagene is sweet, to the point of sickness. Cut back on the sugar, grandpa.
C K Dexter Haven – I lump him with Chronos…doesn’t know the difference between a fact and a faucet.
Arnold Winkelried – someone needs to talk to him about his pissy attitude. I’m tired of being brought down by his perpetual mean spirited bullshit.
Tubadiva has at least 3 or 4 sockpuppets that I know of.
David B is okay but he doesn’t but I’m tired of him witnessing to me.
Gaudere is the most illogical and unfair mod here.
Lynn Bodoni is always banning people for no reason.
Ed Zotti posts too much. He si the reason the board runs so slow.

I think thats all of them.
–Dave, trying for his first warning.

Sort of. Lynn told me I shouldn’t let the cat play with twist ties. So technically, I’ve been warned by an admin!

Once. Only cause I wrote something naughty in another language.

Sometimes people ask me how to use sign language for a certain word & I teach them something really really naughty instead. So, when they think they are saying ‘thank you’ they are really saying …well never mind.

Never.

:smiley:

Stands. Utters in a sighing voice: “Hi, I’m Slithy Tove, and I’m a post-a-holic”
All present, uttered as a sigh: “Hi Slithy.”

Once, in GQ - I violated my policy in that forum of “keep your hands off the keyboard and you might just learn something,” and posted to a GQ with a blatant pit rant. Chronos repremanded me responsibly (and soon moved the thread to the pit - but that doesn’t excuse me). I accept my error, but since (A) I wasn’t out to specifically make trouble for anybody, and (B) a little rebelion is good for the soul, I never bothered to apologize to Chronos.

I 've been warned twice, once for having a long sig, and another time by starting a thread about goatse, and posting a direct link there.

Never No body pays that much attention to me :frowning:

Does it only count if one is threatened with being thrown - um - overboard? Last week Coldfire threatened to cut off my EXPLETIVE DELETED, when everyone else had proposed merely the removal of my eyeballs. Actually he threatened to make me do it myself. That man headed for great things. He take him job plenty much serious. But he didn’t say anything to suggest I wouldn’t be permitted to continue on the SDMB in my new soprano role.

;j Anyway now I really belong. You can find the entire sorry affair here.

D’oh!

Rereading my list, I see that I left Coldfire off. The biggest hash smoking putz in Amsterdam.

So whaddup, mods? No one feelin froggy? Warn me, you yahoos!

I figure if a certain someone tells a certain Mod about my Grand Mod Unification Ritual Theory, I’m in deep doo-doo.

:wink:

Umm, if you’ve been warned twice already in the five months you’ve been here and only made 155 posts, I wouldn’t necessarily count on getting another warning; there’s a limit to the number of warnings we’ll give anyone. There has to be, or what would be the purpose of a warning? If we find your next offense to be egregious enough, your only warning may be that message that says “You’ve been banned,” when you try to submit your post. I suggest you try a bit harder to play by our rules. M’kay?
