Subject: How Can I report an Unfair warning from a Mod

Well, Yoozel locked my thread and gave me a warning unfairly. I opened a thread in the flood asking for people to give me ideas for wallpapers they'd like. Well, Yoozel warned me for the rule regarding asking for donations and advertising, but I wasn't doing this at all, quite obviously. So how can I report him for this?

No, what would I tell him?

Send him a message explaining why you think the warning was unfair. If you're polite you can discuss it with him and understand what he was thinking and vice versa.

You think he'd unlock my thread?

Left here a long time ago.

Can you appeal? Sure, there's a process.

Will it work? Probably not.

Should it work, in your case? Dunno.

Yes, I already had a 3 day ban, so next time I make a small mistake I might get a permanent ban' when I cold just get a warning if this one goes away.

Maybe, probably not. If you can convince him that you are right then he could, or at least give you permission to make a new one.

This one's a dead end and the reply you will recieve will most likely revolve around the fact that your thread had little to no discussion value.

It can also fall under the "services" rule (my own label) that states that we are not allowed to offer, sell, or trade services. A recent example, that also got locked, would be the thread in which a person offered to render Halo clips for free. The intent was good but it's easier to maintain a zero-tolerancy policy than having to, time and time again, explain why one is ok while another isnt.

Ya, that's not really how that works. That notification is more of a scare tactic than anything. I've been banned about five times for three days each.

It takes a lot more than a warning and a 3-day ban to get a perma.

Oh, well I'd still like my thread back.
Also, I believe the rule says no buying or selling, I wasn't doing either. It does not say you cannot offer I believe.

You're no where near a permaban yet, unless you start linking shock sites.

Ok, he replied to me.

Said it fell under advertising, as in I was for ideas.

Oh well, ot tha big of a deal.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Moderators always send warnings now when they lock a thread. You can try to appeal it, but I doubt it will work. Yoozel didn't do it unfairly either, because as Batzter said, that's a zero-tolerance rule.

I don't think they can remove warnings regardless of whether it was warranted or not, so this probably won't go anywhere. Its just a warning on a game developer's off topic forum. I wouldn't take this too seriously were I you OP.

  • 09.17.2011 10:54 PM PDT

Ok, well I guess 'm done here. I'd fight more if it wasn't just a warning, but it's not that big of a deal anyways.
