Why use the warn button?

why do you guys keep saying lightning bolt. It's clearly the winamp symbol.

Because winamping someone isn't very fun.

I never knew a small button could be so influential!


I don't warn trolls, or flame posts, because it's usually pretty fun to just watch people duke it out in logical crusades. I only warn doubleposts, except where I warned Craig once a long time ago for calling someone a bitch, in a very joking manner. From now on, every time I warn a doublepost, I'm gonna do shout-outs to all my peeps--totally against the rules--but I don't care!

HELL YEAH ANARCHY

Zappy zap zap!

Also on topic:
I warn things like double posts and old threads in the FF forums. Also if I find something that I find really offensive I warn it.

I never used to say exactly what was wrong with the post. That was most of the fun, saying a little hello and then letting them go to the post to see what was wrong with it.

I dunno, Mulley. The thought of a giant amp being hurled at someone is pretty satisfying.

i used it once on an offensive post by ttr. :)

Warn Button: It really whips the Llama's *sniped*

I only consider it when I'm drop-dead bored.

I wouldn't say that...

Saying 'rest of us' infers some sense of sameness.

I only check the warned posts if they just popped in my box, otherwise I can be sure someone has already taken care of it. Even when I do check a fresh one, half the time someone's taking care of it the same time as I am.

It's annoying when people report posts just because "omg they disagreed with me therefore they are FLAMING me so I'mma tell on them" (and I have demonstrated my feelings on that recently) but most of the reports are legit.

I would think that the Warn button is fun to anger your friends and relatives.

I use the warn button somtimes, and cant honestly remember what they were for, but I feel it was always used with justifacation.

I've decided not to bother.

Because~ Swearing Videos are a'okay apparently :3
