Cornflakes Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 So the other night I got an official warning because apparently I've created 10 or more posts with less than seven words. I say "apparently" because my warning did not include the offensive posts, but since I was just warned for creating a less than seven word post, I can only assume. The first few infractions were from when I first joined the forum. Then, over the months, I made a couple more. All of them were honest accidents. I think if enough time has passed, like a few months, and someone has racked up at least a few hundred posts by then, that some of the early infractions should be forgiven. Like for good behavior. :) Am I going to get banned from the forums over this? I'm trying my hardest to post at least seven words, but I find myself feeling paranoid and unhappy that I'm going to lose my account.

Spritzie Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The idea of a verbal warning is just like a heads-up. (It's a lot like the whole verbal/written warnings in the work place.) It's basically letting you know what's been going on, and that you need to be aware, and watch your posts. I'll send you a PM to go more in-depth.

Angeló Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I also got an warning a couple weeks ago .. I was bummed too .. but I think this is for the greater good of the forum :) Spritzie = no mercy :P :D (just kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 but I think this is for the greater good of the forum :) Sigh, I'm not challenging or debating the rules in any way. I'm just suggesting that maybe there could be forgiveness of old, accidental, minor slip-ups. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think so too ... and I'm not exactly sure I know how these forums work .. but maybe there's an automated system that lets the moderator know this person reached a certain limit, regardless of the timeline .. for example if you get a warning each 5 violations , u might have made 4 over 3 years .. and only 1 in the past week .. but the system would count them as 5 total ... I'm sure the moderators aren't counting these violations by hand using a pencil and a pad :D :headset: we live in the Matrix anyway I don't even know why I'm answering this .. it's not my place here ... *bows out* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Trust me when I say this... it's near impossible to even get your warning level raised based on a few minor infractions. ;) Receiving a verbal warning is more of a friendly poke than anything else, and doesn't count significantly on your long term record. If you ever do receive a serious warning and have your warning level raised, you can follow the directions here to ask for a reduction.
