DEAR WANDY / Edits, Deletions and Abuses of Power, etc.

Thread: Google Image search, images don't show?

Action: Moved to Help > Software

Reason: Don't post Help topics in General Discussion. Help topics go in the Help forums.

grrrpoop · Sep 1, 2009 10:37am

Reminder of the RULES

It's against the Rules to suggest solutions in the Help forums (or anywhere) that break the law (e.g. No CD cracks).

If it's been a while since you checked the Rules, might be worth having a quick look now. It's not a long read.

Warnings will be issued for each such rule breakage, so if you manage to make the same misguided suggestion several times in one day, you'll get banned.

If in doubt about whether your advice may break the Rules, contact a friendly moderator who will be happy to advise you.

Thread: Quite harsh, but funny nonetheless.

Action: Binned

Reason: Poor taste. You'd think we'd have a specific thread for such jokes...

Tetras · Sep 12, 2009 10:34am

Member: janicepatio1

Action: Banned

Reason: Spambot

As noted by Rich in the Computer Desks thread if you catch one just click the report button and a mod will deal with it, don't bother replying to their posts.

Thread: Spotify question

Action: Moved to General Discussion

Reason: PC related

:edit:

Member: wilko

Action: Banned. Like permanently.

Reason: Repeated disruptive behaviour and an inability to follow/accept moderation decisions.

Thread: Phobia

Action: Removed

Reason: Wha?

grrrpoop · Oct 20, 2009 1:32pm

Thread: Anyone know a suitable place to sell new high end computer components?

Action: Removed

Reason: Member offered a specific item for sale as part of his request for suggestions. Do not mention hardware you have for sale, nor suggest that other members get in touch if interested (even jokingly). It's against the rules (NO SELLING ALLOWED) and we've had sufficient bad sales that it's just not funny.

Plus, high-end parts with only 2 posts under your belt? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Driver · Oct 28, 2009 1:02pm

Thread: Anyone want a lockerz invite?

Action: Deleted

Reason: Don't start threads trying to pull people into obviously dodgy scams/pyramid schemes etc

grrrpoop · Oct 28, 2009 8:55pm

Thread: Games » Rome Total War Virtual Disc Help

Action: Closed

Reason: Member requested help getting an illegally obtained disc image working.

Thread: News » Modern Warfare 2 to be delayed by 2 weeks on PC

Action: Pruned

Reason: No need for the constant bickering.

Action: Fired from cannon

Reason: Boredom

Driver · Nov 11, 2009 3:23pm

Thread: NEW MODERN WARFARE 2 GAME PAD THINGY

Action: Moved to General Discussion

Reason: A new paint job on the 360 controller isn't really news-worthy.

Tetras · Nov 23, 2009 2:40pm

Thread: Keylogger freeware

Action: Locked

Reason: Software of a dubious nature.

grrrpoop · Dec 3, 2009 1:31pm

Thread: General Discussion » DiRT 2

Action: Multiple posts deleted

Reason: Enquiries about private sale via forum.

We do not allow sale of private goods via these forums because some of you are untrustworthy, pikey bastards.
This isn't specifically aimed at those people whose posts were deleted, simply a sad fact of the internet: anonymous arseholes have spoiled it for everyone.

grrrpoop · Dec 9, 2009 11:26am

Thread: Software » AIMP 2.60.525 - Freeware Audio Player

Action: Thread removed

Reason: Wrong forum and it's an unauthorised advertisement (first time post).

Driver · Dec 14, 2009 8:43am

Thread: Import Duty

Action: Locked

Reason: Please don't ask for advice on how to commit fraud.

Driver · Dec 16, 2009 2:39am

Member: Johnny ramrod

Action: Temp ban

Reason: Posted racist joke in the Non-PC joke thread.

Dummkopf · Dec 29, 2009 4:54pm

Thread: The Lolocaust (previously The Non-PC Joke Thread Mk. II)

Action: Locked until further notice.

Reason: The future of offence/non-PC jokes will be re-discussed by the mods. No offensive jokes should be posted in the Jokes section until a decision has been made. As always, the rules still apply.

Dummkopf · Jan 3, 2010 4:09pm

Member: burp

Action: Week Ban

Reason: Insults == nono. If you can't argue a point without resorting to that then stop arguing the point and leave it alone.

Driver · Jan 26, 2010 1:09am

Member: alfredm123

Action: Banned

Reason: Just another spambot. Move along,

Dummkopf · Feb 6, 2010 6:59am

Member: ashtonfarell

Action: Banned

Reason: Even if he wasn't another spam bot, he had terrible spelling and grammar, double posted a thread, and created 3 threads on his first day, most completely pointless.

grrrpoop · Feb 16, 2010 10:38am

Warning Issued in Jokes Thread

Reason: Racist content (use of N word)

Action: Member issued with a Warning; Temp ban for next similar offence.

Dummkopf · Feb 16, 2010 6:42pm

Thread: Normal Jokes Thread

Action: Multiple posts removed

Reason: They belonged in this thread.

Good rule of thumb for which thread to post your joke in: If you wouldn't tell it to your mum, it goes in the Offensive Jokes thread.

grrrpoop · Apr 24, 2010 1:14am

Member: Pariah

Action: Warning +1

Reason: Breaking Rule #1

Dummkopf · May 23, 2010 5:28pm
