Or we leave....

This is great test for who reads threads before posting though

Try reading the thread to see what Admin wants us to do

As long as you're polite, you won't get any infractions.

Untrue.

I've been infracted for making a tribute to a mod.

Requesting if you have old p.c. parts to give away I'lll take them instead of you throwing them away.

Being rude to MYSELF

I deserved it as much as anyone...I rarely use vulgarity but I just lost my cool about 3 am and should have logged off.

"Making a tribute to a mod" could easily be misunderstood. Usually if you think an infraction was fully undeserved, PM the moderator who infracted you and tell him that it ie. wasn't deserved.

Requesting for parts... now that's a stupid one. It clearly states in the TOS that cyber-begging is not allowed. People choose if they want to give items away themselves.

And being rude to yourself can also be many different things. Just insulting in general is a bad idea

I suppose...

I dunno sometimes (I had a long talk to them about it and they say if othes do dumb things in my thread its my fault) it seems as if the members that are jerks to others don't get in trouble but I do for small trivial things.

Alright so BACK on-topic

Please, for my own sanity, read this thread (especially my posts) before complaining. As mentioned, there are many forums on the internet that you can swear all you want (in full words or in acronyms). This is not one of them. This attempt to keep the forums professional and friendly is partially the reason we are where we are today.

If you want to complain because you now have to type WTH instead of an acronym standing for a vulgar term, save your typing. You obviously did not read the rules when you joined or anytime recently.

Best post in this thread, especially the highlit parts.

Edit: It specifically addresses the problem. Lack of self-control. That, more than anything, causes problems.

The solution to conflict in threads? Ignore the post that offends you. VERY EASY TO DO, in my opinion. I'd link you all to one that involved me, but I won't. I didn't fly off the handle because I knew it was the wrong thing to do. I had the choice of reporting those posts. If other people want to report those bad, rude, hostile posts, they can do so. Taking the high road can sometimes be the best thing.

Now I KNOW for a fact Admin is feeling just the same way I do after I start a thread

Now about that reply block until a thread is read idea of mine...
