Warning points?

By Bakura83, in X-Wing

It's like golf, people. Lower scores are better.

So, can I get negative warning points? Is there a handicap system in place (like a Chardaan Refit)?

Just want to point out that your avatar fits perfectly with your name! Now does the name fits the person remains to be seen.

hey now im not that kind of guy,

Would you be that guy if he took you out to dinner and a movie?

Sadly I am neither a captain, nor awesome... I borrowed the name from the television show "Chuck," which had a character people called "Captain Awesome" (because he was).

If Sarah Lancaster and Yvonne Strahotski had a TV show where they were TIE pilots who have a change of heart and join the rebellion...

...I would not watch it, because I would have died from excitement. I loved the entire cast of Chuck, it kept me watching even when the show's arc got weaker. They were just so likable!

Yvonne Strahotski? You mean Yvonne Strahovski. Oh, wait, I see what you did there... never mind!

Up until last week I hadn't even heard of someone getting banned.

Oh? Has someone been banned?

Le petit frog.. Ribbit...

I wonder how you get them. Is it straight from 'reported' to warning points, or does a moderator have to intercede?

Seeing as I have first hand knowledge, mine came from a moderator. I made a post, with the intention of teasing a friend on this forum, and it was interpreted another way by a moderator. I was assigned a warning point by by that moderator. He and I PM'ed each other, and I explained the situation.

His explanation surprised me, as I didn't think my post could be interpreted in the way that he did. But, I am an adult, so I accepted the fact that I may have not been entirely clear that I was teasing. Oh well. Live and learn.

Awwhh...poor two cards!

That is genuinely sad...

Indeed. :P

Now I want to ask the next level question ... how do you get rid of warning points? Do you? Do they stay with you for life? Can you lose one for good behavior? Has anyone ever gone from 1 to zero?

And, how many warning points does it take before something else happens? Do you need like 12 before you lose your license to post on X-Wing? :D

Do X amount of warning points result in being banned?

Oh my gosh no! Chuck is the worst.

This thread is hilarious.

Reported...

As mentioned you can only see your own 'warnings'

And as mentioned moderator doled out.

In the UK there is an airsoft gaming forum that is an by a certain retailer... you can get 'infractions' and warning points just for even hinting that another retailer exists and that they are not the sole source of airsoft stuff in the world.

No *that* is such a ridiculous system, even mentioning ebay or a supplier of something they dont even sell can get you banned.

I tend to rack up a few warnings a year on there and they seem to dissapear after a while.

That's one way to play I guess...

Test post to see if I can report myself to gain a warning. If so, you will all soon be defeated!

Reported!

I don't think that's such a good idea. The mods are actually on the ball today, which means reporting yourself would just be a waste of their time.

Hey man,

You've been around the block a few times on this forum. Is there any trend that emerges from the mods' behavior? It seems like they sometimes swoop in and delete threads, but most of the time the threads are just left to themselves regardless of how out-of-control they are.

If you reported yourself no one would consider it a waste of time. :rolleyes: ;)
