Perhaps this will only entertain me, but what the hell. This thread is intended to be used to collect the most pearl-clutching and capricious mod warnings across the Dope. Pretty sure this fits within the rules of the Pit, though it’s not intended to be an excuse to flame the mods. Today I received this one for quite the mild language. > [@The legality of deterring mailbox baseball](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-legality-of-deterring-mailbox-baseball/593646/238): > > God you’re lazy. > [@The legality of deterring mailbox baseball](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-legality-of-deterring-mailbox-baseball/593646/245): > > Moderator Warning This is an official warning for personal insults outside of the Pit. Anyone have anything better? ---

Well, someone needs to get in the smartass comment that this may become a self-referential thread, before it’s closed… ---

Least appropriate username ever. Edit: this comes off at as a reply to ekedolphin, was supposed to be aimed as a general reply to thread, (and thus Omniscient). ---

There have been examples of flagrant violations of the rule not to pit moderator actions got a full on Warning instead of the not-Warning. So good luck. ---

Thoroughly. Reminder how completely useless this forum actually is. Apparently attacking the OP passes for wit in these parts. Lameness seems to be an epidemic. ---
