Even though it is considering just a warning I still hate looking at it in my profile :(

I wish I'd just been given a reminder or been told I was in breach of something instead of this infraction.

I got a PM about the same thing. Oops!

Considering many people seem to have been 'warned' about the same thing doesn't that suggest it hasn't been communicated well or correctly?

No - I think it's more like people aren't paying attention properly. (Please don't take offense.)

If you read over the rule and you honestly think it's not clear, please feel free to bring it up in Site Feedback, however.

If anyone is going to give me a warning kick
and some infractions for breaking rules,
please do it with clean & shiny boots! >O

xD Kidding.


@ KeiKei Shunu: :glomp:

Sorry to hear you got infractions. :(

If it happens to me,
more than embarrassed,
I would grow more paranoid
when posting next time. ^^;;

I always try hard to make sure that
I don't accidentally breaking any rules
when posting or editing anything,
but sometimes I got too worried
and double check everything.

Btw, look, useful emoticon! >> :headdesk:
xD

@ Kalliste:

What's on your profile?
I don't see anything unusual there.
Is it a warning that only the account's owner can see?

HOCRAP, WISH! I LOVE IT. *hugs*

There's an infraction tab that only the user and staff can see, and only when you have infractions..
It's kinda a doom-filled reminder. XD


But yeah, CK, the rules are VERY clear.. it's just kinda difficult to find where all of them are, since they're fairly spread out. (new rules that are in announcements that haven't been put in the FAQ or rule threads)

I just read too quickly.

*poke KeiKei with her tiny sparkly stick*
I'm Witch not Wish! xD

It's menewsha's official emoticon actually. :P
Just click the [more] link under the smilies,
there are a whole lot more fancy stuff there.
:boogie:

Just avoid your profile during the warning time
and you'll be stress free from the evil doom-filled reminder. xD
*gives you a tin mug to rattle your cage-bars*

XD

Sorry, I've been half asleep, I totally didn't think I wrote wish... >.>
XD

It's ok, people often mistaken us before too. xD

NO. I wasn't mistaking you two. >.>

I've never talked to Wish, and barely have seen her posts. I just misthought the word Witch. I could have sworn I was typing "Witch".. >.>

Haha. >.> tiredness is not good.

Ah, I see, a typo. =3 <3

You should go to sleep then! >O

*push KeiKei to bed*

...wait, that sounds a bit wrong?
xD

XD

I was for a bit.

I'm feeling kinda sick, so I'm having trouble staying asleep.

Oh, I hope you'll feel better,
and can get back to bed soon. :O <3

I'm actually trying my hardest to stay awake :D
Think I'll go watch some Veronica Mars once I get to 475 gold :D

Avoiding my profile is a good idea Witch :) I go there all the time though to post stalk my friends... recently I've been clicking on 'befriend' to check posts though... it's much quicker :P

23 days until no more infraction :P Well, hopefully thats the case and I don't get myself anymore.

I don't think I've gotten any warnings, unless I got one whilst in my newbie stage and do not remember it. Can we check these things?

This is surprising, giving my nature to flame uncontrollably. XD

LOL the only infraction I got was mostly due to memory loss after not doing much here for a month. n_n' I too forgot to quote and when I got the infraction I was like "nooooooooo!" because I felt dumb for forgetting such a thing. I was surprised it was 100 points but was relieved that it expired.

Of all things too it was on a thread about rude Menewshans LOL but thankfully the mod who corrected me wasn't rude at all in correcting me which was cool. I was surprised at how fast that was caught too, so remember, Big Brother's watching you. *giggle* n_~

Thankfully, big brother has an army of minions who hammer that report button like good users should.

It helps a lot.

only stupid thing I did before was making a new exchange thread b/c I didn't know about the rule from being away for too long .-.

That's good though! I think that's part of why Menewsha is a happier community. Any trouble makers are dealt with quickly. Plus those of us making mistakes are helped out.

Man, on a dolling site I used to go to...right after I joined I got like five warnings in a month from the mods because I kept forgetting to put who the doll base was by.

Got warned on Gaia once for flaming, the person deserved the meanness though.

ya i have gotten an infraction for the same thing.
And frankly i was mad when i got it.
when i joined the site i read the rules.
I never once came across the rule for quoting spoon feds.

Now im use to sites letting you know through a big ol announcement
that the rules have been updated and changed and all that jazz.
But i don't ever remember reading something like that.
And half the time i go to just read them over again there is never anything new.
So i had no clue about that rule all i did was italicize the questions
to show they weren't mine.
And i got tagged for it.
The mod explained why and all that jazz and i got over it but
i didn't post anything for about 2 and half weeks after that.
and still im sparingly posting.

But after seeing so many people being hit with the same kind of infraction
i really do think that it wasn't a rule that was widely announced.
Ya ya i know we should read the rules whenever we can,but if i go to them
over and over and see they are the same im not going to keep going.
Sorry but thats just me.
I really think maybe by now someone should say something in an announcement
becuase at this point its like you are setting us up to fail and that not fair.

In the end i sometimes don't post becuase i fear i will get in trouble for anything.
Its like you get an infraction for almost everything and it makes posting for me
not fun. im afraid of doing something wrong and bam infraction for you.
I even went through all my old posts and edited them if i thought they where breaking any rules :/

i have about 10 days i think left on mine and i have kinda forgotten about it [although i do avoid my profile at all costs so i don't have to see it]
But i do like the fact that only myself and the staff can view it.Thats a nice little feature and keeps the embarrassment down.

but thats how i feel on the whole thing.

It's *headdesk* to the rules time again :(

I got a post closed because it was a duplicate... of something posted 7 months ago!
The rules say not to bring back posts that are 6+ months old but according to the mod that's only certain forums :(

At least this wasn't an infraction but I'm still pretty upset about it, I checked the rules and I checked the history of the forum before posting... my post was on Euthanasia and the post I was referred to was on "Youth in Asia"... come on! I know if I read it out loud it sounds the same but if I'm doing a quick check for duplicate posts I'm not going to even look at that post :(

Some forums do have very specific rules, these tend to be posted at the top and stickied, so it's always a good idea to check them out if you see stickies, especially if they're official.
Even I do it, especially when I'm 'thread walking', just to make sure everything is A.OK, even with my own posts.

I did that Nightgaunt which mentioned nothing about it. *shrug* I've given up now anyway.

I have an infraction for having a referral link in my signature.
I didn't realize advertising would be that big a deal.
And am still even more so surprised that, the infraction
never expires. My God, it's not like I linked to pr0n.
But I guess there's no difference here. I don't know.
Don't feel bad about it, just be more careful. It's not
the end of the world. <3 Not yet anyhow.

...We should do away with the quoting spoons rule.

I hate it simply because it makes posts look really ugly with all those big, bulky quote boxes. XDD

Don't use the spoons, then. XD Otherwise, you're gaining gold unfairly, and that's not cool!

I know I'd be a little miffed as a regular user if someone just copied and pasted my work and replied with "yes", "no", "idk" and got all the gold I'd earned, plus some for basically doing nothing. XD;
