Warning Points

[Guest alwaysready]

okay, so the points show up on my profile to all. I am confused, tho: does the warning below also show up, or just to you and me?

[Sloppyholepig]

Hi. Im a little confused. How does one get a warning point? What brings on a warning point?

We get asked a lot whether warning points expire. The answer is no, they don't ...

Okay, as a newbie, I'm wondering if you might clarify what 'warning points' are.

Obviously they're given for infractions of the rules. But are there different degrees of warning (e.g. so many points for such an infraction, and more points for other infractions)? And is there a thread on the site that clearly explains what number of warning points correspond to which type of infractions?

Thanks

likewise I did, for posting an intro post in a wrong section. the mod, who no longer mods here was like a school master telling off an errant pupil. quite unnecessary.

and agree, I also find the site not easy to navigate.

i know right?! a lot of the suspensions i hear about seem to be for accidentally posting in the wrong section which seems a little over officious,especially for such a dirty website.im sure most of the moderators are great but a few need to chill a bit

Me too.  I mos def posted in the wrong section, and I quoted about some video on a site which the moderator said "had pirated videos".  How was I supposed to know?

Anyways, I had a total of nine (9) points,  but the mod listed 5 points for one infraction and three for another.  I guess he couldn't count, as 5+3=8, and not 9.

5+3 does equal 9 ...... it's simple trumponomics ...... **Ducks the flying objects from the Trump supporters**

 

Oh and by the way, I am sitting at 3 for posting in the wrong section too .....

I have gotten a whooping batch of warning points for 'somehow' posting or mentioning something kinky in the wrong place, something 'kinky' I'm much in the dark about and don't even understand... that's all I recall. I'm like a blundering novice in the pasture, making crude comments (by accident) much like Mister Bean it RAT-RACE when he sees hot-dogs at the buffet at the casino and says: "OH COCK DOGGIES!"

I was banned from posting for like a few weeks but didn't come back to the site for months. Only because TUMBLR is now gone all PURITAN do I have more temptation to look here. I guess I'll just wear my PERMANENT WARNING POINTS as a badge of bad-boy honor. But I'm much more reluctant to post anything, or using words I didn't see previous posters use...

Moderator's Note: Just posting something in the wrong place does not get you suspended unless what you posted is Poz Fetish or Chem Sex talk. We keep those things in the Backroom, so that guys who are not into them do not have to read about them. The other thing that gets you an automatic suspension is Straight Sex outside the area reserved for that for similar reasons.

If someone gets a suspension for the wrong forum, it is because they have done it over and over again, and the points added up to the threshold for a suspension.

The "math error" is explained above.

You have one infraction (posting a Backroom topic outside the Backroom). It earned you a 3-day ban a 10-day posting ban. You were not banned for "a few weeks."

Let's please not turn this into a competition. There are many people on this forum who have never gotten an infraction. It's not that hard to follow the rules. 
Here they are for your reference:

really well said from the perspective of suspensions , people that do post , basically make the content , they are the ones that will get pinged , if the ping is a suspension then possibly they dont return or if they do they second guess what they write , or dont write at all . so eventually the posts get boring or non existant, and eeveryone starts leaving . i think there must b some system so speach doesnt get unruly, but i recently did something wrong ( im sure i did, not complaining bout that ) but i came back after my suspension n still not sure how i did the wrong so its hard to fix it or not replicate it. so im not posting as much - which may be a good thing for all concerned - lol

[rawsatyr]

From the responses above I gather that many of us are really a bit in the dark and what rules there are (yes yes, if one set this site up, it's SO OBVIOUS)  or how easy it is to innocently (as a novice) step out of bounds. Like a tourist in a foreign culture. Some high-priest mumbles and knocks your ball-cap off!  "YOU ARRRE NOT IN AMERIKA!" There are so many subjects and fetishes discussed in this forum where I can't even follow. "Say WHAT??" I simply don't even understand (WHY for example somebody would DESIRE to have a scorching collection of drug-resistant STDs) or as I have seen in chat, individuals 'romanticizing' a miserable HIV-related demise... some sounding suicidal while wearing panty-hose in their profile pics and others totally agreeing while barely of voting age. These are just random examples of self-destructive behavior patterns I have observed, where I just CRINGE and quietly wonder what bizarre fetish mine-field I have stepped in. I worry when law enforcement might step in or why not... but those are mere thoughts that I keep to myself and I quickly leave chat. (Where is the FUN? Why so much DARKNESS? I have wondered a few times if I made a mistake by joining, especially since all the 'contributions' are PERMANENT, I think I read.) And again, here I wonder IF I can even SAY this... imagine this: "a former catholic altar boy gets banned from a hardcore sex fetish site for 'violating rules'!"... I will share that tale with my friends without saying which one it was, lol

Really for the most part I consider myself a virtual FAKE, a WANNA-BE player, someone who stepped out of a cloister of virtual monogamy into the darkest underworld I have ever seen. Why? Because I don't think I have even reached the 100 mark yet for hardcore sexual conduct... and even those with rubbers on during the 'repressed era' were far and few in between. Yes I have made up for lost time, but only in the last year or two. The repeat PLAYERS I associate with, for the most part are even wilder than I am: drugs, promiscuity, kinks but MOST could never know I'm on here as they would immediately shun me, once they read some of the recurring subject matters... "WTF are you insane!", they would say! There are many hypocrites among them and poz-haters, a complicated multi-leveled underground of debauchery! Go figure!

TUMBLR really was my favorite outlet as RAWSATYR there until I learned that the CEO of VERIZON got pissed over somebody violating the underage rules, something I personally have no tolerance for either. But why throw out the baby with the bath-water? Why not punish those violators? In the aftermath,  I expected that everybody's and all my content would be EXPUNGED, disappear because of so much RETRO-ACTIVELY DECLARED 'unacceptable' (as of a few days ago) ADULT content. It's harder to navigate now and go to individuals profiles and archives, much harder. But I still have over 5,000 followers even after many members simply closed their profiles and thus fall off. I checked just yesterday and I have more DOZENS NEW followers coming in, often daily, even though I have not made a single NEW 'sexually-creative' posting since DAY X! (I just checked and already have a new follower in the first hours of today, three on a dead Monday) and I have been TOTALLY INACTIVE there... for what... a month now!?

I reblogged prospective transfer options on that last day to other sites, none of which are (so far) convincing me. I did some really creative writing there to accompany hot videos or pictures I put together in 'collections' to illustrate the prose. But I stopped DEAD even before the cut-off day. But I guess no 'grand-fathering' of my existing postings? Well, whatever! I just cross-checked and I STILL see other members there posting new adult content just not at the volume I used to see. But my profile has a blue WARNING bar at the top that says: "You have posts that contain adult content which violate Community Guide-lines!" 

As tumblr has no option to share EXIT PLANS and new gathering sites (other than in messages and chat), where else do all those go who don't fit in? Is it 'rumblr', CUMBLR... ???

By all means, send a private message to the person who gave you the infraction. They will be happy to explain. 

In your case, you posted as message with Poz Fetish content in the Regional Hookup Forums. Those posts are only appropriate in the Backroom.

Seriously? No way for anyone to know?
There is a post (which I linked above) titled "Read this before you post." Every forum I ever frequented has such a post that users are expected to know about. All the rules are in that post. If it comes to pass that we need to add a rule (like last year when FOSTA/SESTA became law and escorting became an off-limits topic), we add that information to the same post. 

[piercedcock555]

I got 5 points for something I posted to find a way to make poppers last longer and stronger. The paddler said I encouraged drug use even though it was in the right place. I got slapped 2 years after the post. I don't think its fair at all. Some of us really do enjoy this site. Some of us don't try to break rules.  This is how I feel.

[Guest FatSnuffPig]

I ignore the warning points as you get issued them for so much as sneezing.

I've had points for being rude to others yet never once have I openly been rude or mean or disrespectful to anyone except myself. 

But you've got no choice in the matter but to admit you were wrong in doing nothing wrong.

And figuring out where you can and can't post sometimes isn't as clearly signposted as those in charge think.

But hey ho. Silly really.

Ok so I got warning points and was confused as to why. It was my own ignorance as I thought 'bug chasers' were people wanting to get AIDS, and did not differentiate between AIDS and HIV. I still have an issue with 'bug chasers' as to me HIV is a step towards AIDS, and I am sorry if I offended anyone. I have NO ISSUE with guys who are HIV+ and taking meds...I like guys for who they are, not what medical condition they may or may not have.  I DO have issues with guys who willingly want to spread AIDS, and we all should be working towards the goal of reducing AIDS..and even HIV, as much as possible. I see HIV undetectable in exactly the same light as I view anyone with any other treatable condition...such as diabetes, epilepsy, asthma etc...it is unfortunate, but I guess the difference is those other conditions are not 'contagious' or should I say 'spreadable'? ANY guy with HIV whom is doing the right thing and taking their meds I view NO DIFFERENTLY to any guy who is NEG...please correct me if this seems wrong, and I do not mean to offend the majority whom are doing the right thing....if however you are NOT taking meds and are trying to infect guys with AIDS and ENCOURAGE the spread of AIDS, please feel free to take offence...and take note that YOU OFFEND the majority. See attached pic of what full-blown AIDS ends up looking like...how is that 'erotic'?

 

Moderator's Note: First, please go read this thread and try to understand what it is telling you. 

We only allow Poz Fetish in one section of this forum, The Backroom. The staff works very hard to shut down everyone who talks about Gifting/Chasing in the rest of the forum. Since we only allow these posts in this area, you were out of line going off on guys for being into this fetish in the place they are allowed to talk about these things. Furthermore, if you see something on the forum that you think is out of line, report it. Don't go off on the people posting. Don't tell them how disgusting they are. Things get heated enough on here without direct personal assaults.  

Unfortunately for you, ChemSex is also segregated into The Backroom. You are going to encounter Poz  Fetish mixed into the Chem Sex. I think you are being a bit naïve is not acknowledging the huge overlap between the ChemSex community and the Poz Fetish community. You may not be into PozFetish, but many guys who are into chems are.

Now as to the substance of your complaint about that thread, I have looked over the story. It does violate our new policy on Promoting Harm to the Community. It needs to have the AIDS and Death Fetishism edited out. I have temporarily taken the thread down. I am going to review your infraction. Again, if you had done the correct thing - reporting a problematic thread - instead of doing what you did - going off on your fellow members and calling them names, this whole situation could have been resolved without your having to take a break from the Forum

Finally, another way you could have handled this better would have been if you had expressed your concerns to me directly about your warning. Then this conversation would not have to happen in front of everyone else. You actually have violated another rule by complaining in public rather than doing this, but I am going to call it a even for now. Please do not do this again. If you feel your infraction was unfair, send a PM to either the person who gave you the infraction or the admin, rawTOP, and your infraction will be reviewed.
