Messaged admin and apparently foul language in any context can now receive a warning - so all you self-abusers out there, you have been warned ..... lol

------------
Edited by Admin Admin :

I absolutely did not say this.

Admin Admin I didn't say you did - I messaged you (you still haven't bothered to reply) and as you gave me a warning for presumably the word 'wanker' the reason must be foul language ....

or did you give the warning for another reason? if so please share with us all what that was ...

In case you can't remember here's the post you decided required a warning

"Wow the amount of complete wankers who profess to SUPPORT this club .... sad fecks"

A post which received 12 likes .... so share with us why you gave it a warning if it wasn't for the word 'wankers' if you won't say what's wrong how can we avoid upsetting you again?

I moved your post here. I'll reply in a bit. Busy at the minute.

I re-posted it - if I deserved a warning fair enough but 12 people liked the post so surely your reply should be available to all - and I can appreciate you are busy so whenever, but at least put it in the relevant thread so everyone can see what I did wrong ....

Right, at my desk and full of coffee now. The first point below is the important one that you can always refer back to if you don't agree with anything or have questions about what I say here.
  • I've decided to run the site how I want to now and I'll decide what to warn people for, who to sin bin, who to ban etc. I completely understand this makes me sound like a monumental "it's my ball and I'm taking it home" bellend. Which is fine. This is where I'm at with the forum now. 10 years of reading adults call each other names takes it's toll on a man.
  • The Nuno thread is absolutely not the right place to discuss why you've got a warning. Continuing to tag me in that thread asking why is more likely to just make me want to chuck you in the sin bin. I know you wrote on my profile (which was the right thing to do and I probably should've replied) but I have neither the time or the inclination to reply to everyone asking for a breakdown for why they got a warning. I'll probably just reply using a condensed version of point 1 above in future.
  • The number of likes on a post has nothing to do with whether a post receives a warning. What you don't see are the number of foul votes you were racking up for that post. You edited it slightly and you didn't receive any further votes. So, if anything, I did you a favour.
  • As I explained to ArcspacE above, a post warning can mean a few things. In your case it was this: "It may be that you're receiving foul votes on a post and so the warning is a suggestion that you might want to delete or edit your post slightly to avoid any further votes." So just take it for what it is, a warning. You can ignore it, if you like, but don't act surprised if you end up with a yellow card or in the sin bin.
  • I'm not going to catch everything. There will be plenty of instances where people feel hard done by because "I got a warning but _______ didn't." I don't have the time to read everything.
  • You're quite welcome to disagree with all this, call me a c*nt, continue to write similar posts etc. You're also quite welcome to use any other Spurs forum. Moaning about how a forum is run baffles me. If you don't like it, start your own forum or go somewhere else... or I can always make that decision for you 🙂
  • Have a great day. I love you. I hate that you've all turned me into this prick.
Ginolaflair Ginolaflair - I'll tag you as well because I think you've asked a few questions about warnings.
 
Bitching and moaning because you got a warning probably means you won't last long here either. Just suck it up and change your tune.

Try becoming a sycophant like me.

Says the guy who was previously known as "lao".
Well yeah, previously known. And I legitimately changed my username from my actual real name, as given on my ID documents did I not? For fairly obvious reasons given the nature of this site which I didn't know when i signed up! No subterfuge.

EDIT: That said, i retract my comment i thought they (he) were (was) using the 2 names at the same time, but on closer look it looks like he legit changed his username like I did. So there's me with egg on my face

Many thanks for this. Really appreciate your time to clarify and I'm sure it's helpful for everyone.
 
Set it so username changes can only be done every 6 months now. No one needs a new username every month. Sorry mummy mummy
No need to apologise, oh magnificent one. Your indefatigable infallibility is world-renouned and growing exponentially.

Getting all excited about Jan 2022 now.

I think somebody must have been having a 'moment' there was nothing wrong with your post IMO.

There's a new world order in place though, so time to shape up or ship out.
