How come

[The Professor]

I argue all the time, and disagree, and don't stick my nose up staff's ****.. but I only get cautioned/infracted when I deserve it?

You get cautions/infractions/warnings when you break the rules, that simple.

You don't have to agree with people, but if you're rude about it.. and insult people.. then yeah, you're going to get warned/infracted..

I must admit I've never had an infraction for complaining or disagreeing all the time, surely if I can moan with out breaking the rules you can as well. You've just got to know where to stop and give constructive criticism.

I'd like to agree with you but I don't think it's true to be fair.

I've seen pretty strongly opinionated posts from both of the above but they're both still here. Jord got it pretty much spot on; there's a difference between disagreeing and insulting, and the line isn't as fine as some people make it out to be.

Yeah, we've had quite a few posts.. but yet we have been punished for them all.. and have paid the price ;P

To be honest, I can't remember seeing any red writing on any of Jordy's posts, but we're digressing

Theres something called "constantly negative" which u can be banned for. Apparently you're negative if you have a discussion with management and pretty much 'outsmart' them and they know it. It's pretty annoying.

If you're having a discussion with the intention to "outsmart" management then you're going about it the wrong way. Outsmarting someone doesn't achieve anything except a vague sense of smugness. You can try and persuade management, you'll find we don't have a problem with that, but trying to outsmart is only going to make us annoyed, and annoyed people and ban buttons generally get on pretty well

Very true, notice how I didn't mention that first time round You've been good recently though, obviously our whips are leathery enough.

[Dentafrice]

;P I have been good! I'm always negative, but if they prove me wrong.. I'll always be positive :]

How come if we disagree with someone or don't like someone or don't love one another and stick out nose up forum staff's ****, we get banned or cautioned or infracted or warned or whatever you do nowadays. It's pretty stupid because forums are there for debates and not everybody's going to agree with everybody.

If everyone posted nicely this forum would be ****, a waste of time, and a disgrace to the forum world.

Don't move this to complaints, I would also like feedback. If you move it to complaints, that's bullying.

Simple enough, its not what you say, its how you say it. And the part in bold made me laff.

I object to this on two fronts. One I have an ego and I don't believe you were outsmarting us, I posted a long big reply but the forum died on me and I was way too lazy to rewrite it (did Gomme forward you that PM?)

Secondly, as Alex said your aim was apparently to be negative and outsmart and one-up the management, which is not a positive addition to the forum. Your focus was not improving the forum but instead proving the management wrong. There are ways to say things

[---MAD---]

You can never be infracted or warned because you "disagree with someone or don't like someone or don't love one another and stick out nose up forum staff's ****".

You don't even have any infractions or warnings so I am not sure what you are referring to.

[cocaine]

you can disagree with them, but don't be rude about it.
