Poll: You have a clean record. Excellent job, citizen!

[Shoggoth2588]

Technically I think I've had 3 overall but the third one happened shortly after a second had healed...So I just put down 2. I think they were both for low content posts. I think I may be overcompensating for that these days but I just really don't want to get any more warnings in future.

 

[Astoria]

I've only ever received one warning for low content and that was during my first month here so it's long gone now. That Neo badge will be mine some day!

 

[Darren716]

I haven't gotten a single warning because I'm always cautious of low content and I don't go out actively looking for fights.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

I think I got suspended once, but that was in 2008 before the warning bar showed up.

I don't think I've ever gotten a warning although...

Haven't gotten a warning yet. I sometimes get a bit aggro about topics I care about, but I do tend to focus either on making good arguments or being snarky as hell. Though there have been a couple times I wanted to just reply to someone with, "I know I'll get modded for this, but I don't care: Fuck you," in cases where I felt they legit deserved it. Buuuut I've managed to resist the urge.

I've never been warned. Considering how sarcastic I can be, I'm curious that I havn't been warned.

'Clean' doesn't apply to those that havn't been 'dirtied' yet, I suppose, so I'll have to sit in the forum's virgin corner over here with my unblemished health bar.

I wonder what I'll be warned first on? Suggesting someone is a deformed hobbit? Moaning about some obscure set of logic? Posting some meme garbage involving a screen filling picture intended to disgust? So many possibilities, so little interest.

Of course, who will issue my first warning? Ooh, be gentle.

I've had a few for insulting the entire Escapist user base in a single post. Sometimes being right is wrong, I guess.

 

[krazykidd]

I once got a low content warning . It was from a thread where the guy said , that Deus ex: Invisible war was superior to Deus ex:Hr . The first 10 posts were of people that all got warning for saying one word : NO. Myself included. Totally worth it.


Anyone remember that thread?

 

[Aedes]

It is very, very easy to keep a clean record when you're a lurker like me.

Now excuse me while I go back with my ego up high in the sky for having no dirt at all over my flawless, shiny name.

[The_Echo]

I think I got one warning years ago.

It was either for low content, or because I was being a mild prick. I don't remember.

Other than that, I'm squeaky clean!

 

[Nazulu]

I have one and it was because I called someone or their post immature. I really didn't see that coming.

 

[Tanner The Monotone]

I was almost clean, only had a few more months, but a Happy Gilmore quote misconstrued as something serious landed me a warning.

Even after explaining what it was, I still didn't get it appealed, so remember kids, add disclaimers to everything because some people don't watch movies.

The same thing happened with me with a family guy quote. I did appeal and it was overturned though.

I had been clean for nearly 2 years too.

It's not like it was a serious thread either, it was a joke thread, and I still got a warning.

 

[Genocidicles]

Got one warning for making a passing comment about a clinically insane brony with an inflation fetish.

 

[Euryalus]

That's right! I'm clean! Woo hoo!!!

The Man ain't got nuthin' on me! Who rocks? I ROCK!!!

And people say you can't keep a clean health bar and have a sense of humor around here?

I got my first (and only) warning for a Low Content post back in late August. It was quite a shock because I was new to the Forums and had BRILLIANTLY misinterpreted "Low Content" for "Low Brow". This is what happens when you scan over the Posting Guidelines rather than actually read them.

I've had a few close calls since then but happily there are good hearted Escapists who warned me of some oversight or mistake in time for me to correct them. I do the same for others--though it more often involves posters I don't know than ones I do. It just goes to show that what goes around comes around--if you look after others sometimes someone will surprise you by watching your back.

Topic of Discussion: No flaming the Mods, but tell us some war stories that led to YOUR Health Bar notching up a few battle scars!

I've never had a warning. I am perfect! I guess I'm just not that controversial. I read the rules and have tried to think about what I say before I say it. I just got the Neo badge a little while ago.

They're gonna come after me in the night now aren't they

 

[Product Placement]

Got blindsided once by the low content rule, because I hadn't read the forum rules (I posted a picture as my response to a question).

In my defense, I had never experienced a forum that utilizes that rule before, and have even performed forum moderation in other forum in the past, so I was kinda surprised by it.

At any rate, that was a long while ago and I've regained the clean slate.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

A couple of low content, another which I don't really remember and another which I do.

The one I do is because my comment was completely misinterpreted, I made a further post explaining it because I feared it would be misinterpreted. Then I got a warning anyway. Then I appealed. Then I was denied. So I tried explaining a bit more. I was ignored. When I pushed for a reply I was ignored again. Fine if you don't want to overturn the warning, but ignoring me is really unprofessional.

 

[Scarecrow]

I think I've had up to four. I think some were low content, and a couple of others were me insulting people. I stand by those insults, by the way...even if I can't remember them, I stand by them.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I'm currently 50% dead with four warnings and I think I had one or two before that which were removed after the 6 month waiting period. I'm pretty sure most of them were deserved, I can be a bit of prick sometimes.

Captcha = squeaky clean
