    Default Why use the warn button?

    You appear weaker in nature when you do.

    I don't know. I get mixed messages. I'll be told "don't flame, just hit the warn button," but when I do that, I get insulted for having done so.

    From now on, every time I make a post on this message board, I am going to use the warning button for every post above the one I make. I don't recall a rule regarding overuse of this feature, so I cannot get in trouble.

    I always got annoyed when people would warn posts because I'd get like ten emails in a row about a single comment.

    I don't think I've ever warned a post. Seems pretty sleazy to me.

    I use it only on rare occasions. The only one I'm recalling right now was a thread in the FFXI section with links to "help" sites which were more likely "use these and your account will get stolen" sites.

    I am weak in nature. In fact my nature might just be my biggest weakness.

    I used to use the warn button, but ever since people ganged up on me, and I decided to fight back, and then Rubah called me out, I've decided the warn button is a thing of the past for me. Now, I'll just either fight back or ignore it. Depends on what the situation warrants.

    By the way, that's just Rubah's interpretation of what I did. I used the warn button the way they recommend.
