Now if I were a new member trying to get my posts up just to get special privileges with CB's xanga/myspace crap, I'd understand the idea on spam.

But now me, being a member of CB since...practically it was first created, you'd think I wouldn't really care to spam. Someone's got a vendetta.

I believe you are fully aware of the forum rules, and because I want to keep everything consistent and correct, I have to raise your warning level because you spammed here:

[*Libertie*]

Forgive me if I seem out of the loop, but is there a certain instance you're referring to, or are you talking about spamming accusations in general?

edit; Ah, you edited, but the link shortened itself in your PM and it didn't copy properly.

Not to mention, no particular warning from the mod.

[*Monochrome.*]

I added the warning on to James verbal warning post for him backstage.

He was warned for member bashing,spam,and failure to remove image tags when posting.
I didnt add those other ones into the original PM or in the Warning note because i acidentaly sent it out too soon.

I personaly had given him some leniency for a while.But after a while there was no impreovement.

[*Libertie*]

I'll agree that you posting a smiley in that thread really wasn't that big of a deal, at least not enough to merit a warning, but I can understand if I read her documentation which points out that you were repeatedly calling her (and James) names.

This brings up a new point, and it's something that hasn't been discussed yet, so nobody's in trouble, but what should be done if a mod is warning a member for being rude to them? Personally, if someone calls me a name I'll bring it up with someone else before issuing a warning because I don't want it to seem like I'm doing it out of spite or to get revenge. I'd call on someone in a higher position (or equal, if you're head/admin) to take care of it for me - they'll do it in a way that's not biased and let me know if I did anything wrong. That's off-topic, but it's just a thought.

I'm not sure if that's the actual reason for your warning level being raised, but I don't think your post in that thread was the only thing contributing to it. Again, forgive me if I seem out of the loop here, I'm not positive I fully understand what's happened. Hopefully Diana or the person who sent the PM (if it wasn't her) can come clear this up.

[*Monochrome.*]

He wasnt warned solely on caling me a "dyke".Yes it offended me but it wasnt like i was going to warn him in spite.
Like I said backstage he was warned for a couple different other things like spamming and not removing image tags.He was warned because he failed to make an improvement by stopping what he was doing even when he was clearly verbaly warned a couple of times already for the same offenses.

And ill state again that I got off your back for a while to see if things would get better.To see if the member bashing toned down or if the spamming to a bare minimal

I dont try to act like a nazi like you personify to be,Podomaht.Im really good person once you get to know me.But at the same time i was told that if people continued to not remove image tags when quoting that that would merit a verbal warning and if it continued a warning.Spaming was another thing,You cant go around on a forum going "throw some D's on that bitch" in topics.Sometimes you do say something useful so i personaly had faith that you were toning it down.And i left you alone for a while but you didnt and James asked you to stop spaming and member bashing and you didnt So then he verbaly warned you and still even after that you failed to cut the crap out so I took action and warned you.

If youd like to talk to me more about this I see you on AIM ill Just IM you or you could PM me.
You dont need to make a topic on every single little thing.Ask me and ill tell you.Im really trying to work with you because you dont seem like that bad of a person.

[*Podomaht*]

Dude. It was about digital fragrance or some xanga staff chick.

Not monochrome. You guys suck.

[*Libertie*]

Not to completely ignore the "you guys suck" comment, but if that's the case, then isn't that the first actual encounter you've had with Rachael? Who's got a vendetta?

Obviously without warning, and jumping on the first cause of it?

What a bitch.

[*Libertie*]

You don't have to receive a verbal warning from that mod in order to receive a warning level raise - if you've received a verbal warning from any mod, the next time, no matter who handles it, that is taken into consideration. Do you really feel as if you hadn't been warned for member bashing before Rachael said something to you about it?

That having been said, she didn't actually raise your warning level anyway, so I'm a bit confused about that PM.

So she is a craptastic moderator. She threatened me. Hell no. I wasn't talking about member bashing. I'm talking about getting warned for SPAM.

Bashing I know I do. In fact, I do a great job at it.

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ You are fully aware of the forum rules as has been demonstrated by your debates with staff. You also know what spam is.

Since you guys have been angry at how "inconsistent" we've been as a moderatating team, I thought I ought to start minding my P's and Q's and go by the book. You spammed, and you have spammed repeatedly, so I warned you.

Edit: Oh, and I did raise your warn level - it wouldn't let me at first because you had received another warning too recently for another to be added.

Likewise, vendetta.

Also, you also know you yourself have to personally PM me a warning first. Sorry, you forgot your manners. You suck.

[*The Markster*]

Hey, how come his warning meter doesn't show? J/w.

[*Podomaht*]

Because it's confidential. Trust me, I'm better than you in warnings.

Oooh, I never knew mods could hide it. You were a mod before (and quit)?

[clarity]

^ I don't know if he was but no mods can't decide whether to show it or not, it hides automatically.

[*Podomaht*]

PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED.

Yes, I was.

[*Duchess of Dork*]

Yes, I was.

Rachael (digital.fragrance) doesn't have a vendetta against you. It wouldn't make any sense for her to have one (not that it would make sense for anyone to have a vendetta against a member of an internet forum). She's Xanga staff and your conversations have been almost exclusively with People Staff, Head Staff and Admins.

As far as the spam warning goes, some moderators will look past the smilie posts but that doesn't mean that there isn't a rule against spamming. You broke that rule, she warned you. "A post with smilies (unless it is in the Sandbox)" is clearly stated in the Spam is/are section of the Community Guidelines.

As far as the problem that has yet to be solved, are you referring to why you received the warning, or the manner in which you received you warning?

[*digital.fragrance*]

Likewise, vendetta.

Also, you also know you yourself have to personally PM me a warning first. Sorry, you forgot your manners. You suck.

Actually, the quote that you have of my PM to you was your warning... and I didn't adjust your level until afterwards.

And why would I have a vendetta? I'm just enforcing the rules.

[*kryogenix*]

The mods are out to get us. SRSLY. They always browse through my topics first.

She said the PM was the warning, but in fact, her saying that she had warned me was also included in the PM.

So...what the f**k is going on?

[*digital.fragrance*]

I PMed you that you were getting warning on the count of spamming, and then I warned you. I followed protocol.

[*Podomaht*]

No, you warned me about being warned. You didn't warn me about SAYING YOU WERE GOING TO WARN me. Big difference, bitch.

[*digital.fragrance*]

If your trying to get under my skin, it's not working.
I didn't actully raise your warning level until 10:30 last night, roughly 4-6 hourse after I PMed you about it, so I don't know what's ruffled your feathers.

Only because you weren't allowed to.


Bitch.

[*digital.fragrance*]

And I didn't try to raise your warning level until after I PMed you. I followed protocol, and you are trying to proove a technicality that I didn't overlook.

And please stop using foul language against me, I'd appreciate something that didn't involve cussing.

I'd like some other input here other than this broad.

[Simba]

So is the problem here the way she worded her PM to you?

Yes.

[Simba]

How did this go? She PMed you warning you that she was going to warn you, and then a couple hours later, she PMed you again informing you that she was about to warn you, and finally, she actually warned you?

If this is about a technicality, would it kill anyone to have the PM(s) quoted here?

Looking just at that, I don't see that she did anything wrong, or even mis-worded the PM. You were told directly that she was going to raise your warning level and she gave the reasoning why.

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ I PMed him about the warning that he was going to receive... that's it. And then I raised his warning level a couple hours later.

[*Podomaht*]

Right. But first you have to PM me warning me to STOP.

[*kryogenix*]

Seriously, the mods need to be more accountable for this stuff. They can pull all this shady crap behind our backs and normally we wouldn't be able to know about it.

[*Podomaht*]

yeah, well. Digital_fragrance is a bitch.

[*Duchess of Dork*]

Right. But first you have to PM me warning me to STOP.

I don't see that anywhere in the ByLaws. You don't get a PM warning you to stop a behavior prior to a warning unless it's a verbal warning. Raised warn levels get an accompanying PM, but you don't get a "stop that" email prior to the actual raised warn level itself.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what it is you're trying to say.

yeah, well. Digital_fragrance is a bitch.

See, you complain about warnings yet you continue to refer to someone like that. I'm going to let that slide, once. If you continue to flame her or anyone else for that matter, your warn level will just continue to increase.

[*I Viddy Horrorshow*]

What, exactly has gone on behind anyone's back? Podo got a warning, he wasn';t satisfied with the way it was delivered, and now it's being discussed.

[*kryogenix*]

Raised warn levels get an accompanying PM, but you don't get a "stop that" email prior to the actual raised warn level itself.

Don't you get a verbal warning PMed to you before the actual warning level is raised? It's kinda unfair just to write "ZOMG VERBAL WARNING" in the topic since the person might not visit that topic again.

For the initial verbal warning you get both a PM AND it's mentioned in-thread. You don't necessarily get a verbal warning everytime you get a raised warn level. I won't quote the ByLaws, since you've asked me not to quote things in the past and I respect that, but it's there if you want to read or re-read them.

[*Podomaht*]

Wow, fascism.

Rofl, I got warned for putting one smile emotion. Wow.

[*Duchess of Dork*]

*sigh I think that "fascism" is bit harsh and it's too bad that you feel that way. After all, she was going by the rules; rules that were created back in 2004 even.

It took pretty damn for you guys to respond to my thread, and that was only because I started calling digital_fascist names.

Do I always have to be a dick to get your attention?

No . Actually, if you looked at the absent thread in the Lounge (which you may or may not care about), I have had some kid-related issues that have kept me from being as quick to respond as I should.

I do try to do what I need, but not be terribly harsh when doing so. And it was a really good cookie.

I love how you can get away with absence, but when I lower activity for a few weeks even with a good explanation, I get shit from you guys. Of course, I knew my supposed lack of activity wasn't the real reason why you guys were giving me shit and that it was used as an excuse to give me shit over it, but I just wanted to put it out there so that we all know.

[*Duchess of Dork*]

I'll see what I can do. ;-)

Oh here's one: http://www.mattcutts.com/images/spamcookie.jpg

Oh and kryo, I'm hardly absent that often even with the responsiblities I have. I don't think it's a good comparison, sorry.

EDITED: V "spam" cookie. And I responded to Kryo.

Duchess, stop getting off-topic. Reporting.

And I don't like cookie cakes!
