65% Warn for swearing? You've got to be kidding.
 
Screw you ACAMS, you backwards Southern hick. What are your priorities again?

In all fairness, you did it twice, and their rules are rather strict about swearing anywhere other than Junkyard. If it's Junkyard, not a single **** is given, outside of Junkyard, you will be crushed with a fist of [enter material here], or in the case of Naryar, material is irrelevant, and the fist is 'MIGHTY'.

I still don't think swearing should warrant such a high level of warn. There are MUCH worse things a member can do.

Exactly. Somehow, one instance of it is far worse than anything on here. That's why I consider ACAMS' backwards "Frontier Justice" to be so corrupt. He blatantly ignores problems that need sorting out, yet is all to happy to come down like a ton of bricks on someone for swearing once to make himself look like a hero.

Overly, might I add. I could understand if it was concentrated only towards the actual RA2 sections, but in the Movies and Music bit? That had nothing to do with anything.

Hmm...true enough, considering what I think the system is at the moment (X% warn where X is dependent on the word said), it probably shouldn't be more than something like...25%-35% tops, I would think. Unless of course they are just trying to be as brutal as possible to stop people from doing it (maybe they got bored of how much it happened before, but that is just uneducated speculation on my part)...alternatively, it could be based on who issued the warn, but that is yet more speculation.

Then again, I have seen people swear outside of Junkyard (without stars) and get away with it before now, so I really don't know how they work. All I know is that the warning is fair the percentage could be seen as unfair dependent on who you are (and what you compare the offence(s) to), and you may be able to get it reduced through appeal, or it may just anger them into increasing it by 30% (or 34% if they are feeling particularly evil)...and that insulting them out of Playground may make him just increase the warn/ban you outright.

I might stop it there, GF. But I agree that 65% warn for swearing is too far. Most members, I imagine are competent enough to not lace every post with a barrage of expletives. One instance in one post shouldn't warrant that level of warn at all. If someone was to go curse crazy, they could be warned accordingly. One rude word in one post, I feel, should be 10% at the absolute most. Granted that trolls, flame wars and such aren't as prevolent as it used to be, but that doesn't necessarily mean we can shift the main focus onto something much less important.

That's what really pisses me off about this sort of thing, people getting a far more lenient sentence than others for the same offense, for reasons which aren't relevent to the problem at all. Rules are RULES, not flexible guidelines, and apply to EVERYONE. No-one bar no-one should be above them.

Exactly, I think I'll stop then.

[Naryar]

While I think 65% warn for a swear in Music is a bit exxagerated, especially that ACAMS does generally gives 50% for this, these are the rules.

You have a point - it's exxagerated. HOWEVER, what is NOT acceptable and NOT right is you acting like a child, throwing a tantrum in chatterbox about it, and going so far as to insult ACAMS twice. In this thread, where I said multiple times that flaming and attacking other people with personal attacks will earn smites in this thread !

Because of your actions in GCT, Goldenfox, you have therefore earned 10% additional warning, to a total of 75%, and you are now muted for two days.

The reason you rebelled was understandable so you only got 10% warning, but the way you did it was NOT.

I already warned you about being reasonable, not going and insult people, when your expectations are not met. You are an adult, start acting like it.

If you went the reasonable way (asking ACAMS what was wrong, and backing up with facts and laws) I would have petitioned for a reduction of your warning. But no, you decided to be an arrogant jerkass. Now you will pay for it.

Lol I just noticed he's 18.....  I thought GF is like 15 - 16.....

Read this and thought of this.

I knew GF was 1-2 years older than me. And the name GoldenFox93 explains all...

You know better that to use that word in the main forum or the chat box


It is not like you have never been warned ..... you are as bad as Sparkey!

[Doomkiller]

Challenging the might naryar?

Send my regards to Satan?

Ok then....?

[NFX]

I wouldn't compare him to Sparkey, personally. And it's nice to see Naryar's usual slightly tyrannical sense of humour coming through.

While you're here, can I ask why swearing is treated so harshly in relation to other offenses? It just seems a bit overly prioritised to me.

I go by how many time they have been warned, if they have a long list, they get a longer warning.


I think that is fair .... don't you?
