Warning About Violations
As the end of the month draws near, many of you are on the brink of a 2 day suspension for both skirting the CoC and CoC violations.
If you are not sure where you stand, please feel free to ask me using Private notes which you can find in the drop down under your name which is located in the upper right corner.
Making sure that no one here gets a 2 day suspension.
How many violations do I have? Do you prefer payoffs in chocolate, imported wine or small unmarked bills?
I'll send you the biggest bottle of fish flakes that Petsmart has. Unless you would prefer brine shrimp.
If you were in charge I'd send you a mason jar of 'shine.
Only if it's silver Patron....hehe......
He prefers the shrimp. I see him sneak it out in his pant's pockets
Read her message, re-read it, then you might get an answer.
I think it's too late. He left his avatar baking in the sun
Will have to try it.
May I please have a 2 day suspension for this coming Friday and Saturday? Actually from Friday noon to Sunday noon would be best. I'm traveling those days and a future credit in the NT bank would be nice.
Sounds like a plan... save your violations... spend them later.
I've got a plan, I'm going to start selling ''violation credits''...We could have a whole section on this...Trading, selling and buying ''violation credits''...A trading floor and all, we could call it the NTVCTX (Newstalkers violation credit trading exchange)
I'm hardly here on weekends! I could make a mint!
LOL Lenny.
Not everyone has an avatar, and although I do prefer them, they are not mandatory.
There are much worse things than a 2 day suspension. One could be in the RA’s 🐕🏠 with no way out.
There is a 100% chance this article will fill up with useless pointless crap.
It likely will now that it has been stated it. Members should stick with the point of this Meta article. While some may take suspensions as a joke, they do add up, and the end results could find them on the outside looking in.
Perrie is in a forgiving mood at this point, but, how long it will last depends on the Members themselves.
Best not to turn this Meta article into a personal slug fest or hate fest. Santa may not be watching, but, Perrie is.
Just my thoughts.
All I did was point out that pointless crap was being inserted. I didn't start it.
I didn't say you did, did I? All I did was point out that the pointless crap you complained about has already started.
One simple question, please. Are you a moderator?
No, I am not a Moderator. However, I am a Member here on NT, and I have the right to express my own thoughts and opinions just like you and everyone else does here on NT do, and I don't need to be a Moderator to do so.
If you have a problem with my comments, take it up with Perrie or a Moderator, and don't troll me with your snide remarks any more.
Of course you do and I am free to post mine. If you, in turn, have a problem with my asking you are free to take it up with Perrie or a moderator.
Too bad, you have my vote Raven!
But did you sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
Stick to the topic, Maggie. The Mods don't have time for your games.
Excuse me?
Where and when I sleep is none of your business.
If you're smart you won't say another word! Say, did you get the straight jacket signed by Ron and Rand Paul that I sent you? Happy holidays Deano!
It was an honest question. I wouldn’t worry about the drama in response. You shouldn’t have been treated like that.
Not mine. 👎
Why can't he say another word, leno?
It was a joke based on an old commercial. Lighten up! Live and let live.
Enquiring minds want to know!
My enquiring mind wants to know.
Take your own advice.
Ladies, no harm, no foul.
I didn't say he can't, but after his 'swallow' comment yesterday, I thought he may want to discontinue the path he was on with Raven, for his own good!
I do 99.97% of the time. I’m easy going and easy to get along with as long as I feel I’m being treated fairly. I have 0 problems with any regular member of the site.
I have no problems with the Members here on NT either.
Yes, thank you Lenny I 💕 it and owe you big time. Happy Holidays to you too!
I don't know anything about the swallow comment to Raven. I do know if you are going to put it out you got to expect a return.
I do.
It wasn't Raven he said it to, I think it was Epistte but I'd have to look it up
I’ve seen that. Some really target you. It’s sad to see that happen. I try to walk away from situations before they get out of hand. I’ll argue issues and policy or what I think of a political leader etc. with anyone. When it comes to personal attacks, I just report them mostly without comment and move on. I will defend my friends here when they are personally attacked.
you don't need to look it up.
My point is that some on here say whatever they want to and, then, say "oh, you can't say that to me" It is rude.
I agree, if you're going to whine, be nice yourself. On the other hand, if you don't whine [I've never flagged a single comment] you should have a little more leeway in your own comments. My opinion. Dean's not a whiner.
When are ya leaving? Is it soon? Can I help you pack?
Like I said. If you put it out you are going to get it in return.
What I can't stand are the little flowers who are so sweet and say whatever comes to mind and, then, when they are confronted say, Oh, you are being rude or some chit like that.
Thank you.
I gather you don't mind being trolled. The holidays mean nothing to them.
To whom?
The Thetans have control of your mind ! You'll have to get auditing, stat !
I don't even think you need that spaceship anymore. Just think yourself there.
Mine, too! RW is the voice of calm here
LOL!! Love your avatar, BF. Really cute.
It does indeed fit well with that. (big grin)
No shit, Shorty?
Lighten up. Life's too short.
Sight unseen, I bet I am taller than you are.
It would probably just be easier for folks to just not violate or skirt the COC to begin with.
It’s nearly impossible with the skirting thing where violations are handed out for not violating the COC.
Exactly.
One would have to be Mother Teresa to know when one is skirting or violating.
I haven't experienced that so really can't address your comment
Indeed. It’s like saying you didn’t really violate the coh but you hurt the other persons feelings so here’s a 1/3 violation anyway.
Changed my mind.
Time to abandon skirting, are you kidding me....That is a long time NT favorite.
OMG I love that!
What!!!! simply not true BF. When dealing with a motley mob you always determine that it's a ''ship of fools'' and act accordingly.
Bull to the shit. We've all been around each other too long not to know the true meaning of the offending author. In this group, 'Good Morning' means 'Go eff yourself!'
Wow, that's fucked up.
Sister loves the good morning skirting, it's the closest to effing she gets.
Good morning, BF. ♥
awesome
But I say good morning to you, you know that I mean "go eff yourself" in the nicest way possible
Too skinny. That boy needs to eat a cheeseburger. With fries. And a strawberry shake.
Damn. Now I'm hungry.
Indeed. However, it seems that there are those who feel they don't need to play by anyone's 'rules' but their own, regardless of where they visit. They still refuse to adhere, or willingly ignore, the simple CoC for NT Members. Those that continue on this path will find that it is not a good path to take here on NT.
Thus, Perrie is being thoughtful enough to give them a heads up so that they can choose to abide by the NT CoC and ToS, or choose to stick to their own 'rules' of conduct and see where it takes them. Their choice.
It takes all kinds to make a community:P
True, and as long as everyone plays by the rules, we can have a very productive and cordial community.
Sometimes being cordial is not appropriate. It's that simple.
Exactly. People can be far more offensive presenting unreasonable and irrational viewpoints, than any name you call them can ever be.
Not true - being cordial is ALWAYS appropriate. You'd be amazed at the amount of good will you foster.
Very true, 1st.
You're no fun!
Lol I'm just a big ole party pooper
We can all go to Nicely Land where no one is adamant about their views on anything. Sometimes, there are heated arguments and you let it all hang out. There are no safe zones and we express ourselves, sometimes, not in the right manner. So, I think this is where Perrie's "skirting" comes in.
Good for you, Perrie, I just figured it out!!!!!!!!
Dear Lord, What fresh Hell is this?
Happy New Year, 'Uncle Bruce'. (smile)
Well it seems Uncle Bruce that everyone was warned that it was close to the end of the month and some were close to getting a suspension. Perrie was in a very generous mood.
After that the whole article was interspersed with whining and crying about how unfair ''some'' (read mods) people were.
I assumed that once the whining started that I was free to counter punch and take their sandbox away from them.
Let me be known (picture the town crier) that Dog Houses are not permitted on NT, thus anyone that imagines that they are in a Dog House must evacuate immediately. Beds will be available at the local homeless shelter, known as ''Whiner Village''. Use your GPS and you'll find it right next to ''fresh hell''.
We want our Christmas bonuses for participation here. Like earnings. The one thing I really miss about the old newsvine. The 🤴🏻 has spoken! 💰
You want to be paid for seeding articles!! LOLOLOL, it doesn't take a lot of skill to copy and paste.
Happy New Year, Uncle Bruce!
I haven't looked yet but has Badfish cleaned up that roadkill yet?
