So not really berated, just some users complaining because they don't know all that is going on. Chances are, if someone has been banned/whatever, it is for a very good reason. Perma-bans are last resorts. If it seems unfair, then you aren't seeing the full picture. Some people complain anyway. Sometimes it is good that they complain, as it means that decisions are looked at, and can be changed.
Anyway, I keep rambling off >.>
I've never been berated for mod decisions. Maybe once, but it was a troll, so... kinda pointless.
Before I made an account, (I still do, actually) I would always check them. They're usually funny, strange or just generally interesting. I do have to admit though, I've never seen a forum hand out probations like the escapist's (not saying that's a bad thing, it just stands out how any people have "gone on a holiday.")
Yeah, always. Mostly just to get a cheap laugh- it's usually good for one.
But it does help familiarise oneself with the rules. Hell, I only learnt that FIRSTs were illegal by clicking on one of those. Not that I'm a FIRST person, but I wouldn't want to risk my first post becoming a FIRST post and getting me on probation. FIRST.

I have to admit some of the fourm admins are a little power crazy and put you on probation for tiny things when sometime you say really offenive things and nothing happends, its more then confusing
Eh...mods are still people. They're just using their best judgment. But I understand where you're coming from. Sometimes I don't understand the logic behind it. I've watched people flame others without consequence because they used a linguistic loophole and I've seen people with probations for seemingly head-scratching reasons.cWg | Konka said:

Pretty much this. It helps to find out what's ban-worthy.Simalacrum said:Probations? Sometimes.
Suspensions? Most times.
Bans? Oh hells yes
I do, but I try not to, since now and then somebody was put on probation for something that really makes me annoyed.
