A warning would have been nice

KMpuggy · 1 Jul 2011 at 17:19

You have been banned for the following reason:
You must fully star swearwords!

Date the ban will be lifted: 3rd Jul 2011, 17:00

Come off it??????? seriously, not even a warning or anything, just and instant ban, bit harsh. A simple message like "hey fella, can you fully star swearwords in the future, cheers" would have been nice and would have been acknowledged.

Just a bit petty if you ask me. I best not "break wind" (can we say fart) in case i get banned for that. :rolleyes:

Can you read the FAQ's?

Also, its 'would have'

1) you said fart
2) we can say fart
3) You're not allowed to talk about mod decisions in the open
4) Are you Chuggerboom?
5) Enjoy the ban you get from this thread
6) Stop whining
7) I got 2 warnings

Thankyou gracious mods/Thundycat

Can't go around warning everyone mate, luck of the draw I'm afraid

The rules are there for you to read when you sign up. Every forum has rules, read over them

KMpuggy · 1 Jul 2011 at 17:23

Had my say thats all.

And i found the rules, in the end, after i had been banned. Top of the page would have been nice.

Not true

Ignorance of the rules clearly stated in the FAQ isnt really an excuse

Would HAVE. It would HAVE been nice.

Making threads like this is equally stupid.

I see the problem.

It happens, at least it wasn't a permaban. ****

.

it is top of the page, FAQ button, also highlighted when you sign up.
So you found the FAQ after being banned, presumably read them and then posted this thread anyway. Despite what the FAQs say.

Stop saying "would have" it's "would have". People who say "would have" should be banned anyway.

RAGE :mad:

In before the lock-down.

HA! But to be fair, I got banned once for spamming when I had 100 posts. Then the only bans I got was when I raged on someone asking for help (my fault) and I also got bans from MM (also my fault)

I think that some mods look at the post count a lot. I remember when 5UB suspended someone and reduced their post count for a one liner in GD. They had 15 posts IIRC. However, I leave loads of one line answers, but obviously i contribute a lot more (hence the 3,750 posts) and i've not been banned since for spamming.

In short, I think your post count does depend quite a lot. Maybe they may not look at it intentionally, however, subliminally, in a mod's mind - it matters
