jamesmark Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Last I heard Mawby was only wanting warnings at first and infractions wetre only to be used unless the person was a repeat offender, it may have changed though. You know what to do then stop swearing or astrix a letter out, simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to issue a 0 points infraction (i.e. warning) to enable us to see that a warning has been issued, otherwise we won't know if another mod has previously warned a member or not. You could have PM'd me back and I'd have explained all this rather than you airing it in public (with the consequence of perhaps making yourself look a bit silly??)

I bet a quid i know which direction this thread will go, Certain people will begin to post up how un-fair it all is and how the mods are Na*is....Rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble Edit: Not you Jazz;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Jazz, if you read the PM then you'd know that it WAS a warning. Lighten up dude! A copy of the PM below for you to read: I think this warning PM could be worded better. On first viewing it does look like you are giving infraction points to the receiver. The trouble is that if I got a PM like this I would whiz down it and immediately be annoyed and may not read it again slowly. IMO G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 ok well maybe a better idea for you mods would be to pm everone about that swear word thread as i dont like infractions on my user cp dont look so good on me, at least if you pm all members they will have a warning before hand?

Its the standard PM that everyone gets with a bit tagged on anout not getting points this time. Problem is that we have to have some consistency so we all tend to use the same generic PM (otherwise we'd be typing out individual ones..... which takes up a lot of time when there's other stuff to do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 well i can give several links right now to several threads i found with bad words like t*sser and they were posted yesturday, i dont want to link that as its not fair on other members meaning i would be grassing them up, so i think kranz you need to start searching every thread and make sure im not the only one getting infraction warnings:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I dont count T**t as a swear word at all BUT we have been warned and as much as i like recieving PM's from mods, and i do, it makes me feel warm, I think its easyer not to swear at all or ** it out.
