When you use the warn button what do you type in?

Nay, I don't warn posts. In case I should one day do, I'd just explain politely what I find offensive/inappropriate in the post.

Someone warned me for reviving threads then has the nerve to blatantly say i was being rude. I sent him a really angry pm in huge red letters. ^_^ I have never warned anyone though.. I was a 2 week old n00b and had no idea that replying to threads could upset someone.

I've only ever reported one person on a GameFaqs board a few years back. It didn't require much explanation as he was blatantly flaming me, in his posts for no real reason other than I disagreed with him, and felt the need to try and brag about himself so he'd seem more important, and try to prove he was better than me somehow. After he kept up his childish insults for 4 or 5 posts I reported him, and his posts were actually deleted so it did work. Part of the problem with boards that big is you get more children who can't play nice and have a civil discussion.

I try to sound snarky.

ive used it twice. Once to report ToD when I didnt know him, and once to report...something else I cant remember

[War Angel]

I've never warned anyone. I usually respond to the post directly, and often with un-paralleled viciousness. Because that's me. I'm no snitch.

[Mittopotahis]

I never warn. Dunno why.

Now, everyone, warn this post.

[Rase]

I don't think I've used it, as it's WAY over there, and it's so much easier to ignore problems and let the staff find them, thus giving them purpose and making the have more self-esteem.

By the way, why can't we warn our own posts?

[crono_logical]

I don't use the Warn button, I use the Edit/Delete button



Rase: The forum removes the link from your own posts by default, but if you know what you're doing, you can warn yourself

Would it be by finding out what post # your post is, "reporting" another post, then typing the # of your post in the URL?
