It is up to the moderator who is dealing with it, but obviously it has to be within reason. If he reported that now then it wouldn't be dealt with.Quote:

because if he was warned for that, someone really needs to train you to use your initiative, bold which part of that sentence was trying to moderate someone/warranted a modeditQuote:

Yeah, go for it. :)
@Chris; POLLLL TIME!
Quite crucially, the parts that aren't bolded indicate the sarcasm intended in the post.Quote:

Wait is the update adding in a bit saying that telling people they're breaking the rules IS a rule break? I thought Matt said pretty much the complete opposite
What you need to understand is stating someone and telling someone what they can/ can't do are two different things and to make it even worse, it was a joke and in a sub-forum where pointless crap goes.Quote:

Yeah man it's because of that even though it's an actual name. Anyways that's a completely different thread that has already been deemed as WRONG dundundun, please stay on topic!!! haha I'M JOKING LEE!! just trying to wind you up :P don't warn me my account is too preciousQuote:

people irl call me Di.ck so to me it's all a bit strange, it being filtered and that. To me it should only really be *removed* if someone is like OMG LEE YOU COMPLETE DI.CK!! (Just an example!!) but I suppose the word would be used for more good than bad so I understand why it's filteredQuote:

I think @GommeInc; tried to argue for that to be unfiltered as well haha. I see why they've done it, but it's so commonly used like "arse" that it's losing its meaning of being a very offensive word. I don't think they want to unfilter any words though... tried this 1 month back haha.Quote:

I'm assuming that the BBCode used for mod warns can be used by everyone, hence why it's a rule - and I'm guessing that the forum doesn't allow the BBCode to be restricted to certain user groups? I would try it out, but y'know, immediate infraction for me if it works :PQuote:

I agree with what was said by Richie in the first posts in this thread.
The rule is a good one, just needs to be taken lightly. If it's obviously a joke or just to let someone know, when you're not really sure, then it should be let go.
No idea but for some reason it's just been made into a fully set in stone rule rather than one just alluded to, despite the GM and everyone else suggesting that it wasn't at all necessary to punish it unless it made the post pointlessQuote:

i use to do that all the time "edited by sex (forum hottie) - bla bla bla" or whatever it was and never got in trouble, the mods had common sense then i guess and could tell jokes apart from what was suppose to be serious lol
I was just assuming it was for that, can't remember what else it would be for.Quote:

You should take pointers from when Rosie was a mod, she was always right on the money.
