LOL

I really don't mind explaining it for the 10th time

I just need to keep it interesting for myself.

I really cannot believe that a thread like this is needed. Do not curse or be an idiot and no infractions will be given. If you people really get that mad at an internet posting forum well then maybe you should not be posting on one.

I will not close this thread - but I think it's fair to say that this topic is done with now. If you REALLY have something productive to add, please do post. Else, let it be

Get back to the pursuit of performance

how do you know if you got an infraction? i have never seen anything that said i got one, and i wouldn't expect to have one but i would like to know how i would know if it happens.

You will know. You know where the list is for your REP in your user CP? A similar list appears above it showing the "latest infractions received". You will also most probably be PM'd by the mod who gave it to you to warn you about what you did, and notify you of the infraction.

Infraction/warning notifications are automatically sent via PM and e-mail, so you would know if you received one (which you haven't, I checked). And as other have stated, you can view your infraction/warning history in your profile.

**ENTERPRISE** · 08-06-07

Also if you go into your User profile by clicking your username, if you look to the right you will see a small list of Infractions/Warnings gained.

Acronyms such as: GT*O, ST*U, Q*T, WT*, N*W, O*T, *U etc etc could simply appear as ****, ****, ***, ***, ***, **.

Not only would this protect us all from the dread "F" it might save some of us from a few infractions...or not...

Just a another one of those Dread CyberDruid suggestions

(please note: no actual profanity was used here....just the **** asterick...to make a point...thanks

)

I dont think its the "dreaded letters" that are a problem. Its that all too often these "letters" are directed at others... namely st*u. IMO you might as well just say the swear word. Its absolutely no different as the results are the same and that is a problem and isnt what overclock.net stands for.

What about OM*G and the like? I've never seen that used outside of a joking manner.

I use it all the time. D:
