Why use the warn button?

I would just like to say that the rubah mentioned in this thread is not one Allison, but is one Matthew.

So, you go and punch the people that robbed your house. You know. Take matters into your own hands where the police refuse to do so.

That's what I did. I punched the people who robbed my house, and if the police got punched too in the process, so be it. However, in the future, I'm not calling the police.

No, it's nothing like that at all. Quit exaggerating.

Also, if you 'won't call the police' the next time, it's safe to imply they'll come after you. (Been there, done that.) :p

Whatever they feel they need to do.

Why have serious threads in GC?

Because, as Lunar used to say, the internet is serious business.

I can't remember warning any posts ATM, but I think I warned an annoying forum-advertising PM once. Or someone else did, because the person got banned in like five seconds <3

You can warn PM's now? When did that happen?

Last time I got spam PM's, they just told me to block the bot.

You forward it to a moderator.

Also, Award Guy is not a bot.

And just like that, balance is restored to the world.

Seriously guys, take it to PMs and quit trying to one-up each other.

MODERATOR BOT v2.1 INITIALISING SCRIPT: OFF TOPIC POSTS.

[user name] and [user name], please get back on topic. Thank you - [moderator name]

[witty one liner about thread topic, so as to encourage others to post more about this topic]

Good job, you had to get Psybot involved...

I think I usually end up "warning" the initial post of a topic that is posted in the wrong section. But it's typically only a thread I actually have something to say in. So I warn saying wrong place, post something about the topic, with a little comment "This thread will be moved!"

On that note, I rarely ever warn.

So wait, the warn button doesn't send a lightning bolt through the internet that shocks the warned person? :(
