Just got my first mod warning. Now I feel like a criminal.

[waterman]

I feel like I should have a tommy gun, and a cigarette hanging from my mouth. And I just knocked over this joint...see? And I keep lookin' in my rearview mirror cause I know there commin for me. Yeah me an da boys, we gonna bust my brudda outta da slamma...see? I'll get you coppa, if it's the last thing I do. You'll neva take me alive...see?



Dang...guess I owe someone an apology, but I'm not sure who. Will there be points on my liscense because of this? What about my credit rating? Oh well... took nearly 500 posts before it happened.

1. Put your hands on the car

spread 'em...

[DK666]

5. Huh

Spread What ;)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i got my first one last week

i still say i was right!! why did you get one?

[waterman]

7. Apparently, I said something a little insensitive towards Rosie.

But it was framed more as a question and I didn't think it was really so bad. But upon a forced re-reading of the rules, I suppose I breached a particular etiqutte clause in those rules.

17. Naughty Lioness!!

shame ... shame... (in my best Indian accent)

;)

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Bah! I mock you, you criminal!!!!

Those of us who weren't raised in a barn know how to be rude politely!

(I got one once for calling someone the "f" word.)

[wryter2000]

4. I got one once

I called someone a freeper disruptor. I haven't seen that person around, so I suspect he/she got banned for being a freeper disruptor.

But at least, I'm still here. :)

[trumad]

6. Rookies

I've had dozens!

[Myra]

8. Well, that was bad planning on your part to get the warning *after* they

accidently deleted the warnings records from their database.
Whereas I had the forsight to get my warning before...(brag).

But don't beat yourself up over it.
What's done is done.

Don't let this lead to bigger crimes such as armed robbery,
election theft, and attacking countries to steal their oil.

[waterman]

11. Ok, will take that under advisement

[donco6]

9. Even a good boy like me . . .

. . . gets carried away once in a while.

Welcome to the club!

:hi:

[waterman]

13. thanks

[Limbought]

10. I thought this post was a riot!

Welcome!

[waterman]

14. thanks

[BurtWorm]

12. Sorry, we're supposed to shun you now.

We'll talk to you in a month. ;)

[waterman]

15. but...but...but...

[izzie]

16. I am Goody Two Shoes.

off i go

[woofless]

18. I got my first by stating tha a certain candidate and

his supporters were becoming "shrill". I was cool with it and agreed to abide, etc. The next day I used the word again in the same context just to see if I'd get bagged (seriously passive-aggressive) and sure enough, bang. So now I am good and a little ashamed. But
DAMN they were becoming SHRILL.

[Ladyhawk]

19. I got one last week, too.

And what's more, I'm unrepentant. So there.

[waterman]

20. Kewl!... spoken with the true agressive style that only a ladyhawk

could possess.

[Ladyhawk]

27. Well, I would feel guilty if I felt the warning was justifiable.

I can be reasoned with...most of the time. :)

[Kamika]

21. I got one aswell

I freaked out, created a big drama post and cried out.. :P


I don't take warnings good :P

[waterman]

22. Oh really, is the post still up, or did the whole thing get locked?

[Kamika]

26. I'm sure you can find it

It's actually two

[Pithlet]

23. lol. It's okay.

:hug: I know that's how I'd feel if I got a mod warning. It hasn't happened to me, yet.

[elfwitch]

24. I got one today...

I got is for maligning the people of Dallas.
I didn't mean all the people.
I just meant the yucky ones.
Apparently my wording did not convey that sentiment.

Ah well!
I guess I'll have to keep my Dallas bashing to myself from now on.

[waterman]

25. "Apparently my wording did not convey that sentiment.'

That's perfect! Priceless! Eloquent and to the point. Ha. Love it. Boy can I relate to that.

[Robb]

28. If I was cooler

...I'd say some stuff at you in Klingon, and turn my back, like everyone did in that Star Trek episode where whats-his-name got shunned by all the other Klingons.

Actually, come to think of it, maybe it's cooler that I don't remember that stuff well enough to make the joke.

I'm sorry, this post might have had a point when I started typing. :shrug:

[MAlibdem]

29. I got three in my first week

Since then none.

I think of the warnings as a way to learn board etiquette.

[waterman]

30. Without actually having to pre-read the rules

[POed_Ex_Repub]

31. They have rules here?

Kidding ;)

[MAlibdem]

32. haha

i skimmed them, like reading those user-agreements on software.

eh, i hope i haven't pissed off too many of you all. i think one of them was debateable...skinner disagreed. i maintain it was close.

[wellstone_democrat]

33. I got one this week and I'm all traumatized over it

really, it freaked me the hell out. I feel like a criminal

[waterman]

35. Like the Elton John song.... I know, me too

[smirkymonkey]

46. I know, it's so shaming!!

humiliating! I wonder what this is about, psychologically speaking?

[MurikanDemocrat]

34. I got 2 at the same time a few weeks ago. It does feel like a rap in

the chops, doesn't it. I just read the rules over again and figured out what I did and haven't had any others since.

[waterman]

36. I think it goes on your permanent record.... ooooh... scary...ooooh....

[MurikanDemocrat]

37. No phone call or Public Defender?

:shrug:

[waterman]

38. Nope, I think I'm on my own here. I might be listed as an enemy combatant.

There's nothing you can do for me now. Run...run while you still have a chance....run like the wind....don't look back. I'll be OK... I'll make it somehow... this is America, where dreams really do come true!

[Lindsey]

39. I got one a few weeks ago and I don't even know what the

hell I did! I tried to find out but I'm too computer challenged to even figure it out.

[aquart]

42. You have to know. They make you READ it.

Kinda like rubbing your nose in it.

But still far more civilized than being banned from a soap opera board with no notice, warning or explanation for bashing an actor when the only thing I MIGHT have done was suggest cannibalism as a solution to problems with a division president. Executives are NOT actors.

[IconoclastIlene]

40. I sorta feel like a leper too...

my skin is breaking out from the stress.

:evilgrin:

[sendero]

41. I've had one warning...

... and it did make me feel bad. I want to follow the rules here, because I think overall the purpose of this board is lofty.

But hey - we all lose our tempers from time to time and I have forgiven myself for my infraction. You should too :)

[southerngirlwriter]

43. I got one,

but I don't feel bad about it at all. The asshole had it coming, and besides, I was defending ZombyWoof!! :D :D :D :D :D

[gristy]

44. Well this thread put a big old smile on my face

I've gotten a couple warnings. My last one was just yesterday. It is always a shock. A total shock, I tell you. And I know just how you all feel when you say you feel bad afterwards. Not that I feel that way, but I know how you feel! :)

[Armand]

45. I'd say something to you, but I don't associate with criminals.

:D JK bud. :hi:

[Blue-Jay]

47. Myeah, Mugsy...
