<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2560927, member: 112&quot;]Well Kurt, as much as this might surprise you, I have fired off that exact warning myself, on numerous occasions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why ? Well because it is my belief that people are all too well aware of what they wrote, usually only a matter of a few hours previously. And if they&#039;re not well then they should be for I find it hard to believe that their memories are that short !</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also my belief that just about everyone who participates here is all to well aware of our forum rules. And they are plainly posted so anyone can read them. And they should also be all to well aware that if they break those rules that there are consequences. Ranging anywhere from verbal warnings, to editing, to removal, to infractions being given, to outright banning from this forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, where does the wording in those messages come from ? I believe it is part of the software. That said, any mod can add to that wording if he chooses to do so, change it outright, or he can leave it alone. I have left it alone or added to it when the situation calls for it IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I&#039;ll tell ya Kurt, once you&#039;ve gone through a few thousand of those warnings, merely the fact that you need to give them gets old because if people would just control themselves none would need be given. It gets aggravating. And yeah, we&#039;re only human. So we suffer from those maladies. And if you&#039;re handing out 6-8-10 of them at a time, every time you log-on, it gets mighty tempting to just send the pre-canned warning the software provides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that said, anytime that anyone does not understand a warning they have been given, then ask the mod who gave it to you. And if you find his answer insufficient, then ask me directly and I will explain it, point out exactly what you did wrong ! But realize this, 99.99% of the time, I agree with moderator actions. In 14 years I can count on my hands the number of times I have disagreed with something a moderator did - and still have fingers left over. So while you WILL get an explanation from me, the odds that anything will change or that I will over-rule the moderator are almost non-existent. But yeah, there have been those very few times when I have over-ruled a moderator.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
