Mark_w Posted 18 March 2015 Share Posted 18 March 2015 Are warning points still used? Because if not (and I ask because in my recent experience they haven't) I really think they should be. It seems a bit silly to have a perfectly good system in place to explain why people have been banned and not use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 18 March 2015 Share Posted 18 March 2015 In their heart of hearts I think people know why they've been banned. If they're too thick to work it out they should probably be banned permanently. It's not for Mark and The Mods (excellent band name) to baby everyone. If you're not a twat you probably won't be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 18 March 2015 Author Share Posted 18 March 2015 Then what's the point of having them at all? I disagree anyway, I don't think it is always that clear. But surely they should either be used or scrapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 18 March 2015 Share Posted 18 March 2015 Half the features on the forum are there because Mark was bored and just messing around, to be honest. Others are standard features he probably just can't be arsed removing. It's a free to use forum hosted and run by one guy as a hobby (albeit with help from a few donations.) It's hardly the end of the world if there's a warning feature that's not really used. I have two warnings, both from Kokopops, one is for frivolous tooting and the other is for "abusing the mods" (Marsh himself.) That's how seriously it's taken. You got banned for being a little too annoying after a game, I'm guessing? And now you've got a bit of a stick up your arse because you're still young enough to take an Internet forum a bit more seriously than you should? You'll get over it bud. Time will heal those tender wounds, I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will heal those tender wounds, I promise. I'm not saying it's the end of the world Finners. I figured the whole point of having a user feedback section was so that we could discuss little things like whether the warning system needs to be used more or whether it is redundant. Apologies if you think I've wasted your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 18 March 2015 Share Posted 18 March 2015 I'm surprised there's anyone left to post on here. I'd ban about eighty percent of the forum tbh. Starting with anyone with a number in their name, seriously, how ****ing boring are you? Ability to punctuate and capitalise is another big one, looking at you, Scouse.

Ability to punctuate and capitalise is another big one, looking at you, Scouse. Just so boring. Looks like a large percentage of the forum did not meet the standards of this forum. A number in a username, among everything else that goes on within this forum, is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 19 March 2015 Share Posted 19 March 2015 You just get banned for a day or so and an explanation to go with it, usually with me it is "How many times do you need to be told, stop getting into petty arguments". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
