DA 3.0 - Warning System

[Tarantulas]

Hmm, I've never been very fond of the idea of tighter moderation - probably because I'm a liberal

Liberals love tight control of every aspect of their lives - the "nanny government." Maybe you missed that meeting.

and you can't please everyone


guess you didn't notice my in that post

I did notice the after I posted. Emoticons are strange cutesy crap. I would prefer not to have them. A lot of people use them to lessen the degree of bite the words they have just typed have on the reader. They are somehow supposed to excuse the true expression that was just typed by adding some cute crap to the post. In my opinion. If you have something to say just say it and stop trying to sugar coat it with emoticons that need to be interpreted and can also be misinterpreted. In my further opinion if a person has to use childlike drawings in order to express their true feelings there is a problem. As I see it this board is in danger of being overmoderated to the point that it will become a big cluster **** and worthless as a place to DISCUSS ANYTHING.

"Each one will carry 1 warning, except for name calling which carries 2. At 6 warnings you receive a temporary ban for 5 days."

So if you are going on vacation and won't be posting for 5 days or more, plan ahead. Post 6 zingers before you leave and by the time you return, you be back online, rested and ready to resume the fight.

I like the way you think.

we do what we think needs to be done. If we loose a few, then so be it. What can you do? And there is no way we are over moderated. We are undermoderated if anything

right, and that helps out the situation how?

[SpabSFW]

Oh come on, Kraw. It's a combination of creativity, efficiency and practicality. It's a beautiful thing~

True, but it also advocates breaking the rules that are being set up to make this place enjoyable. There have been a whole lot of complaints about how the debate forums have gone to hell, and to have someone tell people to keep at it really won't help the situation any.

It's a joke, folks. Nothing more.

It's not breaking the rules. It's exploring them and working effectively within boundaries. It implies spirit, intelligence and humor.

I know, but nonetheless it's indicative. People here are often so literal

[Monster]

I'm just explaining, not taking a stance one way or the other. I get the humour in your post, I just don't think it'd be funny if people actually took the advice of it.

I assumed that


btw, Zach is right

- Those are social democrats and conservatives, not liberals get your ideologies straight

[CCC]

I've never been warned. I must be doing something wrong.

I'm confident that if anyone were inclined to do it, they don't need me to invent the idea.

[Geoffrey]

dunno if this was pointed out or not, but you can view your warnings by clicking on the "quick links" drop down box at the top of the page

[Kyle Gridley]

There is no menu at all under the "quick links" tab. At least not in the skin (DA classic?) I'm using.

Jokes are against the rules !
that's a 2 points warning for you !

I wasn't talking about Norwegian politics. The Democrats here are Liberals and the Conservatives are called Republicans. It's a whole different animal than what you're accustomed to.

odd. I tried it as a registered user and under DA classic and saw it
