Re: Stop being so lenient to the newbys.

The current system is basicly this right now (with 1 "warn" before real warn):

A. One warn can be removed when you have 2, but only once.
B. 4 warnings - day ban
C. 5 warnings - week ban
D. 6 warnings - month ban
E. 7 warnings - permanent ban

So this "system" of being lenient is just moving the rules and warning removals up by 1.

Re: Stop being so lenient to the newbys.

If the mods weren't lenient towards the newbs, then everyone here (absolutely no exclusions) would have at least one warning. What's the point of that?

Re: Stop being so lenient to the newbys.

@Different
I mean, you not giving a warning is just moving the rules back 1 warn. Example:
Normally, 3 warnings - day ban.
But, since you don't really give the newby the first warn, he has "one warn" (when he really has 0).
Then, he gets 3 more warnings. His "first warn" plus these 3 warns is basicly 4, where he really has 3.
This means he gets a one day ban. However, this "would be" his 4th warn, had you warned him the first time.
Tl;dr: You're shifting the rules back 1 warn.

@Shift
Had I not "flamed", I would probably still have 0 warns, even if mods weren't lenient.
Edit: Why didn't I get a "read the rules, warn next time" for my first warn?

Re: Stop being so lenient to the newbys.

The first time I broke a rule was when I had six posts and it was for double posting *cough*Different55*cough*. So, they aren't as lenient as you think.

Re: Stop being so lenient to the newbys.

Well, I meant being lenient to some people. I didn't know about the people who got warned on post 6.

And can you elaborate whom those people are?

Re: Stop being so lenient to the newbys.

If I gave a warning every time someone broke the rules, this thread wouldn't have been made.

Calculusguy, you would have been permabanned...so you couldn't make a thread.   'Nuff said?

Also, Calc...you have a fourth warning for being Off-topic somewhere, want to serve that ban now or have some leniency applied?   As you basically said, newbies are at the same level as everyone else.

Clarification Edit: That user mentioned in the first post has a warning for spam, even with only a single post.   Warnings aren't always said in posts, we use Private Messages too.

Re: Stop being so lenient to the newbys.

It seems to me that you are going on about how new people should read the rules when you don't? Sure you say you read them, but how would you already have 3 warnings if you did.

The mods let the 1st mess up go by usually. They don't want to scare new users off when they 1st join. I think your the only one here that has a problem with that.

The mods are just trying to be nice, do you really want them to be mean? and start handing out warnings left and right?

Your complaints are hilarious to me. All of them so far that I've seen are pointless nonsense. (sorry if that sounds mean but it's true :>)
