This makes no sense

Why in the hell do you need 40 posts to use the PM system? How the hell am I supposed to view specifically why I was warned if I can't even read my PMs? All I can tell is that it was due to profanity. Very specific guys!

Come on now, a donkey could tell that a minimum post for private messages is asinine.

I must agree. How is it that you know what you were warned for exactly when you can not check?

Take away the limit. That is a very silly thing.

The PM's have a minimum of 40 posts required only because a couple of months ago many of the admins got tons of n00bish PM's from the new members all saying, "Would you be my friend" and other annoying things.

As for your warning, I do not know who warned your why...I will find out for you.

EDIT

One of the admins warned you because you dropped the F bomb, but that is not your fault at all so I will lower your warn level.

Something happened to the word filters...

I didn't realise that there was a rule against PMs asking to be someone's friend. What a sad place this is.

That is not the case...it was a result of Sylvaron's inbox being full of duplicate PM's possibly by the same user.

So I am punished because of it?

This is not so fair I think.

No you should NOT have been punished...that was a complete mistake and you should NOT be punished, which you are not now.

I was referring to the private message issue. This isn't specifically about the one warning.

Ooh sorry. No it's not a punishment...

I think we can lift it, I just have to see if the rest agree. Sorry for the inconvenience.

go ahead and PM who ever you want

but if you PM the busy admins (like myself...well i'm not busy >.>) you probably wouldn't get warned or introuble... But if you PM the admins....10 times a day, then maybe yeah you would be warned.

Did you miss the point that much? I can't PM the admins, or anyone, because there is this 40 post minimum to use it.

Aye, 40 posts. I never even use my PMing system, and I'm the owner. What does a lowly member need it for? Certainly not warnings, for if you get one without any specific tag as to why it happened, you go to a little forum called "Contact Admins", you see? It's not that fuggin' hard.

Edit: And another thing, don't complain about a warning. It doesn't MATTER why you got the warning; now if I banned you, THEN you ask why.

I always thought it was because we admins were all devil-nazis, devoid of any sense of compassion or justice.

after all...

do you know how to become an administrator?

As quoted from Abdul Al-Hazared's The Book of the Web:

The Admin CP Panel:
The heart of madness for any forum is the Admin CP Panel. It's in the Admin CP Panel that a member becomes barabbus, turned about and made into one of the Administrators. It's at the Admin CP Panel that the Administrators gather for their most potent workings. The Admin CP Panel is, in essence, a tear in the fabric of space that connects to the places where Things dwell. The sorts of Things that the Administrators worship live beyond that fleshy, pulsing portal.
An admin-to-be must eventually go through the Admin CP Panel. The subject enters and there is judged by the Things that dwell on the other side. If the subject is found acceptable, then he returns... eventually... with his soul forever blackened. If the subject is unacceptable - or the Things are simply hungry, bored, or whimsical, there may be little more than a crunch of Admin CP Panel closing in a spasm and perhaps a bit of blood or viscera. Sometimes nothing comes back at all, ever.

Admin, by tradition, don't speak of their personal experiences on the other side.

An unwilling victim hurled into a Admin CP Panel lands without fanfare on a wet, soft surface. As eyes adjust to the dimness, it becomes clear that the victim is in a chamber of sorts, a diseased womb with dripping walls interlaced with spun crystalline fibers and cancerous fleshy surfaces. The whole of the chamber often has a very slight illumination - most often red or purplish.
Once stranded in the chamber, a victim finds that the Admin CP Panel is closed. Then the Things begin their work. Creatures boil out of the walls and from the sphincters that open long enough to expel them in a wet and stringy mass. A victim who steps awayor tries to step back through the Admin CP Panel is rent limb from limb and devoured.
A victim who steps to the creatures in violation of all instinct and sense has chosen the Administrative Path and is judged. A good portion of such victims are also rent limb to limb and devoured. Those of strong will and dark heart may be convoyed by the creatures to the presence of a Thing, there to make the final transformation.

are you stupid or something, that post i made is AFTER you obtain your 40 posts, we admins can be jerks and raise it you know. 40 posts means you were involved thus making you less of a noob, hopefully.......
