Title: "Watched"
Post by: Enigm@ on April 11, 2011, 05:49:08 PM
I have noticed that a few members have the green title "Watched" underneath their PT.
Some members I don't get why, such as Craaig (or however it's spelled) and Goldenfox, ty4er, Freeziez.
But FOTEPX, okay, I can kinda get why he would be "Watched" but I don't the people I mentioned above.
Also, I don't get what it means in general.

"Watched" means that you have been given a warning by the mods. Craaig and GF93 are being watched for one instance of cursing each, which is apparently a 50% Warn. I think that's ludicrously high, personally, and I can see why they'd be unhappy about it. FOTEPX and Jonzu (I think) are being watched for some instances of trolling and general poor behaviour. The system is good, but I think the scale needs adjusting, personally.

No 75% is the warning for bad language, thus freeziez and Fotep.

Why is using expletives worthy of a 75% Warn? I really don't understand that, I don't see how it can be worse than overtly intending to cause a disruption or verbally attacking other members for no reason. If someone can logically explain to me how that works, then that'd be appreciated.

There are only three rules here, and that is #1......the most important!

I think the question everyone's been meaning to ask is, how long until a "watch" expires?

Fix'd (making sure to be extra careful to abide by the rules now I'm in the main forum too - even though I want to get on this 'ere Watched list)

Because, somehow in my heart of hearts, I think they expire at the whim of the mods

For cursing and swearing there needs to be a crack down. A large crack down when I hear people using the F bomb as every day English. As for the attacking if it were up to me I'd say a temp ban right then and there.

Yeah, it's actually a German word meaning "to thrust".

Post by: Little lost bot on April 11, 2011, 07:29:15 PM
German or not its not used as that at all. Its has a different meaning over here. Its used as a swear and I hear it at least i dunnu 90 (rough estimation)  times in a few hours at school.

He's gotten a ton better than when he first joined the forum though.

So essentially I should make more threads like "Kujii! I'm calling you out", or "Feet, Feet everywhere", from back when I joined.

Those caused backlash.

Well, if I know that it's never going to be removed without assistance, I might as well get myself suspended for a little while, therefore resetting the Watch-O-Metre. A-like so...

I too understand Kill's statement, 9 times out of 10 his weight was needed there, I think this is one of the few cases we actually were stopping though.

Now, do we have a list of what does/does not give warning levels, and how much is obtained?

You did not need a list of what does/does not give warning levels, you should have known from birth!
