Am I the only one who hasn't been "WARNED"?
I'm --at last count -- the second highest posters here. In my whole time here I (think) I've NEVER had an admin warning.

Is it so hard for you all?

14. I think that it happened because I wasn't trying
to have a sex thread. Who knows :shrug:

I COULD have a locked thread in 2 sec if I wanted it. ;-)

3. Only time I have had a PM or message from a moderator was...
...last spring. In the fog of early morning, I posted something in GD that should have been in the Lounge. A moderator moved it and sent me a message explaining why.

5. I've never had one either.
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 12:52 PM by brainshrub
Well, I did get one pre-Jan 1st. But that's b/c I used a word that I didn't know I wasn't supposed to use. (It was nick-name for Clark supporters.)

Keep in mind that I post a lot in in the I/P forum, so I have many opportunites to recieve a warning.

I got one a few weeks ago.
But I whined to the admins and got it removed. I'm such a damn baby.

6. I've had one...............
and that was on a bad day when the poster in question was whining like mad. I said some things that I shouldn't have, but it did make me feel better at the time. :evilgrin:

Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 12:53 PM by ProfessorGAC
Must be because i'm such a wonderful guy. No wait, that can't be it! I've never been accused of being wonderful.

Maybe being civil just isn't that hard. I mean, if i can do it. . .

10. I've never had a warning, but I was banned
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 12:54 PM by HereSince1628
I think it was a mistake, because I was reinstated, but I am not sure. Consequently I don't go to the gun dungeon anymore.

Mostly I believe I am very widely ignored. Those who might punch the alert on me never do because I am invisible.

17. I got a warning a month or so ago.
Somebody was bashing Clinton and I asked why they can't stay out of his zipper. I got a warning, but so what? I'll defend Clinton to the end.

19. I was warned twice.
Oh yeah, one time I typed sh*t in the message box and got warned.

Another time, I responded to some "freeper troll" here ...think I called him/her a troll.

Oh well!

20. Nope
In fact just before you posted this I was looking at my stuff and wondering if anyone else had no warnings. I'm just too quiet. Maybe I should yell a little more.

40. Just today.....
Part of my answer to a really unimaginative troll did, indeed, exceed the bounds of good taste. (Maybe it was the phrase "gag reflex".)

But the troll message got deleted too.

24. That's because you are objective
You tell it like it is........how can you be warned for telling the truth?

I have never been warned either, but only have 700 + posts.

I did have a thread locked about the Senate in session because I posted it in Breaking news.......tho others have done the same.

Keep up the good work,khephra.

I limit my time on the GD board and never go on the GD campaign 2004 board. I think that helps.

once when I got totally pissed off but no warnings. I have not been here nearly as long or posted nearly as much as most of you. Usually I just write what I want then delete it after I have said what I shouldn't have.

30. Me neither...
...Tho I do remember alerting one of my own posts about a year ago. It was too late for me to edit it, and it was indeed a personal attack.

I DO have a tendency toward the angry outburst. If you don't believe me, it's probably because you've never made me mad. But I do try to be careful about what I post when I'm feeling pulled in the angry outburst direction.

I tend to actually read and respond to the responses to threads in GD: 2004, a guarenteed way to get some warnings.

At least in the virtual world. I don't have the mega-postings that you have khephra or GOPisEvil, but I think it is important for discourse to be civil. I love peace, here at DU, at home and in the world. If you really have to vent, maybe you shouldn't do it on-line to your fellow DU members. Take a deep breath, say it out loud a few times and just think about your humanity. People deserve respect first even if they try to antagonize you, you always have the choice to walk away.

Be the better person by not adding more anger, stress and hate in our forums and in the world. Think globally act here right on DU. You can have logical disagreements and arguments without getting ugly and personal. Just do it.

Sonia

38. I get warned constantly
and it always shocks the whiskers off of me because political debates are never a dainty little tea-party. So, even when Democratic candidates make mistakes, and reasonable Democrats point-out those mistakes -- sometimes colorfully -- it's unsettling to have the censors run in and cut-out your comment because they think that someone, somewhere, might be offended. Normally, when liberals gather, a diversity of opinion is encouraged. Oh well, I don't make the rules and I don't run the website, but I take a certain pride in being a marked man....shows I think for myself and I'm not afraid to colorfully express my opinion.

But only for duplicates. If I go to GD 2004, I do not attack, just make comments. I do not want to get involved in real deep discussions or attacks. It also helps that I have not made up my mind re a candidate.

Had few posts removed over the year I've been here. But I know I've managed to come to the unfavourable attention of the powers that be with regard to another poster's ongoing issues. So I'm not sure what it means that I've had no formal spankings. :shrug:
