Who uses it ?
Not me. It's just like the Big Red Button that Tony Blair uses all the time. It doesn't REALLY blow up countries, it just makes an explosion noise that he finds very soothing. :)
Who uses it? Tell tale tits, that's who! Oh, an whoever that was who warned one of my posts recently, you're going to Hell.
I use the Warn button. I'm not sure how effective it is though.
The warn button and I have an agreement. We don't use eachother.
The warn button eyes at me ominously, but nothing happens.
There is a warn button?!
Oh yeah so there is!
I strongly encourage its use when you see something that requires moderation.
I only ever use it if I'm not sure on something and need a second opinion, or if I'm testing it for some reason. :p
I have used it in the past
Now I don't really care to tell the truth
I haven't used the warn button, because I haven't needed to.
So thats what it is (and does!)!
Sometimes we have strange staff conversations with the warn button. That's the only time I would use it.
The last time I used it the problem didn't get sorted out until a month or two later, and by then everyone had forgotten about it anyway.
Kishi used it on me once informing me that Daniel Towns imagery is a bannable offence. :(
Don't think I've used a warn button on any site in the last ten years...
I do. :tongue:
Wtf is the warn button? No one ever told me there was a warn button. No one even said anything until now! Is this some kind of new addition on the proboard update? or a joke?
I use it. :cool:
Like I said, it's just like the Big Red Button Tony Blair has. It's only there for explosive soothing-ness. :)Quote:

Man, we should have a warn button awareness week.
I have no idea what you people are talking about.
I use it...:)
I use it quite regularly to discuss specific items with Staff. :cat:
This is pretty scary. It seems like everyone wants to moderate something. And you lot had me going like you were cool or something :mad:
I think I used it once. In 2004, or something.

I didnt even realize there was a warn button until it got mentioned in this thread.
I used it when that one guy kept posting advertising spam about designer purses. He was besmirching the good name of Chanel. :aimmad:
Also use it to warn a lot of stuff in the FFXI cause I <3 the FFXI forum and it bugs when people post and ask HOW DO I PLAY THIS GAME OFFLINE???
I wish you guys would use it [as intended] more often as it makes my life easier, mostly because leeza and btv always beat me to the posts ;(
I don't use it all that much. But yeah, once in awhile I am really unsure of what to do in a thread, and wanring a post is easier than making a thread about it in staff.
I might use the Warn button once a month. I don't see stuff that needs to be corrected very often, and most of the time I do it's fixed within a few minutes anyway.:p
I've probably used it three or four times during my time here. Something about it doesn't feel quite right...
Gotta say, some of the stuff we get through it is pretty funny. :D What eest said has happened from time to time, and when Unne warns something, it's usually pretty amusing too.
Is it like some staff in-joke to spell it wanr or something?
I don't unless someone's advertising a site and it hasn't been caught yet.
Don't know what your'e talking about. *whistles*Quote:

Either that or the mighty powers of the 'Wan Ring' are more powerful than I could have ever imagined.
I seem to be using it more and more often.
Maybe you could have a "Warn Count" feature to act as an incentive for people to warn. Plus, it would give BoB a reason to make pie charts. ;)
does it let you send a message to the staff or does it warn the poster or what?? i dont get it
It sends a message to all staff.
I've used it before, but usually either a) I'm too lazy or b) I don't look look at the threads that need it. I've settled on just raising awareness about it, since it requires little to no work. :)
I've never used it before.
I use it when the opportunity arises.
Same here. ANd Bladen wtf how could you NOT know about this? They say "warn the post instead of spamming blah blah blah" when they close threads. Geeze.Quote:

What this does is send an email to EVERY staff member with a link to the thread, a link to the individual post, the name of the member warned, the name of the member doing the warning, and the text that you included.
What we do with this depends. If we feel that nothing wrong was done, we just don't do anything. If we agree, we act on it as though we normally would. If you abuse the warn button or are very annoying with it, we might tell you to stop.
I use it when necessary, but sometimes I feel I'm ignored by the staff. :cry: *cue emoness*
i just warned your post. LOLZ
I use the Warn Button. As a former staff, it's the closest I could do to feel like a mod. :D
Then again, I think the staff secretly hates me, or some do, I guess.:confused:
Why thankyou my fabulously colorful eoffer. :) *cue happiness*Quote:

We definitely don't want you guys to feel like you're ignored, or that you don't matter to us.
>>> I have not seen porn lately so no..
I've used it 2-3 times.
Did you rip that lightning from the Winamp icon?
Um, I've used it once.
90% of the time BtV manages to get to the post I warned in like seconds. He's a robot!
