Point Counts, PCRs, Mods: Now I'm Paranoid - Page 2

Another rule of thumb. If the post takes up the whole screen (full, not spaces) when posted, it's harder to be accused of spamming.

Effort is always taken into account.

Which is bad news if you post in a forum where I'm a mod, since my screen is 1600x1200

Is there a way to get banned and not get a PCR? I'm going on vacation for a week and want to be banned.

But I don't want one fo those complimentary bans.

Can I start a spam thread in OT and get banned?

ACK!

If you need to fill extra lines, its always easy enough to append your post with

Although that will certainly help anyone's case, it barely fills 4 out of the 60+ lines required to fill my screen (with avatars disabled it should just fit on 3)

Unnecessary screaming gets you banned by default

PM Ming and ask for a three week GP

rah · March 15, 2003, 20:11

Yes, never a good idea to say you're going on vacation for a week when acting up. That usually ends with a 2-3 week ban.

mrmitchell · March 17, 2003, 22:07

Shouldn't Ming be closing this now too?

BTW, don't be afraid to post, mods are people too. (Certain ones aren't....not naming names...

)

Usually... it isn't needed, unless SOMEBODY bumps it days later.

But that's OK, I use these type of threads to keep track of who is currently spamming, so I know who to put high on my PCR list

H Tower · March 18, 2003, 00:01

well rah was the last person to post before mrmitchel asked why you didn't close this thread.

Ming · March 18, 2003, 00:30

Yeah... rah posted about two hours after the post before his...
