mod edit: we can't link to deleted posts. But here it is. Right here.

I got a warning with 3 points for console warring. It wasn't my aim, I just like to make fun of all fanboys, so I guess it went a little close to the line. Not whining about it at all, I was just wondering what the deal is with the points? How many before you get banned etc?

Also, just some feedback, it would be good if there was a link to the infringing post with a note on why it crossed the line. Is there some banned words like "Pony" or "xbot" etc? As it is I'm not 100 on which post it was.

Thanks in advance.

Not just consoles apparently, made a joke about how the new Halo season was named after the low steam player numbers, apparently some steam players took that extremely personally. And I thought we PC players where above all that.

But get to 10 and tell us how it works out.

Maybe it's like eating hot food. If it burns your tongue, you might wanna let it cool off.

Not really. Console warring would be trying to put down one console while praising another. Laughing at those people who are fanboys is a bit different.
But I get why the mods don't want to encourage that. Happy to live with the warning.

That was a really mild post honestly.

When you reach 69 points, you win a fabulous prize.

They just sit on your permeant record. But expire after a time. Get too many to soon and you get a ban.


THEY ARE ON YOUR PERMENANT RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you are on double secret probation now. Better watch out.

different strokes for different folks

I think it's six points until an action occurs.
I've gotten some warnings before, just thread lightly.

Be thankful for warnings, I know I am.

My issue is I got some cryptic message to watch my step +3 points, it didn't tell me what for.

I had to go ask an admin to explain to me which post was at fault. And even then I was told which post not what for, I still don't understand it .

As far as I can tell since steam deck is a console now I am unable to make fun of steam users despite being one.

My account is old enough to drink.

I mentioned this on one of the account suicide threads recently I'm just losing touch of what is permissable now, am I supposed to hold back on how much I dislike GaaS in games? Can I not criticise titles or community and make a joke at their expense? Am i allowed puns? If I can't make puns it would be pun-ishment enough.

Also, because you dared asked about points

 

[Deleted member 1159]

There are points?

Yes but Griffindor usually wins due to Ailynn

Saturn is legendary. Sure all those PS guys had their cool games, but I was playing Daytona, Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers, Sonic, Sega Rally, Virtua Cop, Nights, Darkstalkers, Panzer Dragoon etc.
We were the elite. Us and those Neo Geo guys.
