Need help understanding CGN "infractions"

[burnaby]

Yes, would luv some less obvious sample of infractions and the impact/penalty.

I've never receive an infraction, nor even a warning, despite been told many times I'm not NICE. Perhaps sticking to specific and measurable facts convince the mods it is not personal but the truth.

If you do something stupid, esp. when it is dangerous, I'll call you out on it. Thankfully the mods seems very level headed distinguish personal attacks from beneficial advice.


Good advice, if mom or grandma is knowingly waving a gun around I would tell her that is stupid.

...

I don't post things that I wouldn't say to my Grandmother or my Mom , might be food for thought?

Best Regards,
Rob

Hard to be young and emotional. Don't worry, that will pass as you grow bitter and quiet.

I hear what you are saying and have gone that Avenue before I guess it's just as simple as do not argue or state how you really feel toward a Cetrain post and just include "rainbows and sunshine" in all your comments....anyways I guess we will try that once again! Thx

I once got a warning and then voiced my opinion on a topic and received an infraction. No point trying to interact with closed-minded, obtuse, peabrains. Do what I did......withdraw, keep your opinions to yourself and watch from a distance. Enjoy the EE and follow news updates. You'd be surprised how many online loudmouths here are actually kids typing feverishly in mommy's basement.

Be proud, only candy asses have zero infractions.

Yea, I got one once, basically for "stirring the pot", learned my lesson...

Sometimes it's hard to have an open minded discussion on here. People start the name calling instead of discussing the topic.

Just remember that Everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how stupid or wrong it may seem to you or me.

Or don't look at any threads other than EE threads, which don't require debate.

I got a warning for putting a topic in wrong section , New Member slip up on my part . But on other hand . a fellow poster basically called me a illiterate immigrant out in the open , totally ignoring the fact that I posted my fathers Canadian WW1 service , in the memoriam section , and I don't think that poster got a warning or points . So a post that borders on racism and personal insults is apparently ok .
On any forum you will soon recognize the posters that are spoiling for an online fight over the stupidest sh&t you can think of , grammar warrior,s , name callers , post hi jackers . Best just read and ignore their posts . Skip over the B S forget it , and carry on

Hey, that's what the NEED FOR SPEED idiots say about getting driving infractions. Glad you are PROUD of these non candy asses driving recklessly around in your hood.

Be proud, only candy asses have zero infractions.

Click on the black triangle with the exclamation in the center to report the post. Mods are very good at getting those post deleted and assumingly appropriate warning/infraction.

Hilarious. Kind of like the position of geologists on the university campus.

Too bad to hear this. Arguing is one of the best parts of this site; even better than EE imo.

For the most part, it's not what you say, but how you say it.


This might help: Take a piece of masking tape, and with a sharpie write: "Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad." Take this piece of tape and stick it to your desktop monitor.
If you post frequently from your mobile device, then substitute that long quote for: "Mad words are Bad words." This way, whenever you're about to blow a gasket while reading one of ___________* posts.....[insert pot-stirring emoticon here] :D:D:D, you will be able to keep your cool and correct the offending post with composure and purpose.

See? Easy-peasy!


On another note: The day this site ceases to become a place to argue, debate and even finger-poke, is the last day I grace it with my presence (that's right, I said it )
