Here is the message I received from moderation :
Dear Yzangard,

You have received a warning at Star Trek Online Forums.

Reason:
Flaming/Trolling/Spamming

Hi Yzangard ,

One of your postings in the "To Die Or Not To Die (Video Proof Why A Death Penalty Is Needed) " thread has resulted in this moderation.

Please take a moment to review our Cryptic Studios Forum Usage Guidelines and Cryptic Studios Infraction Policy to help ensure no further missteps with your postings.

If you feel that anyone has posted content that warrants moderation, please use the REPORT feature and one of the moderators will look into the matter further. Report violations, do not quote them or reply to them. Responding to a violation in an inflammatory manner is a violation in itself and will result in appropriate action.

We look forward to your continued support and participation in our community!

Thanks!

Dionaea

I fail to understand how ppl can argue against DP.

Problem is : dying is a more efficient way to win....


No kidding, you don't see the point ?



Lol, YOU are the joke, period.

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,
Star Trek Online Forums

No kidding, it is a sort of private joke I should be aware of or what ?


Can someone point me out where I was insulting, trolling or anything else ?


FYI dear moderator : DP = Death Penalty and NOTHING else.

    Isn't it the forum where I was warned ?

    Isn't it a Cryptic forum ?


    What is a better place to tell this than here, please ? You realise I can feel insulted and this may happen to anyone else here ?



    I feel it fits way more than all those whining and insulting posts we all read when game was down or server crashed, don't you think ?

    You referred to that person personally in a non-flattering way. You cant call someone a jerk, joke etc without being labelled as being insulting or trolling ...

    Hmmm maybe joke is a bad word in the Cryptic circle because thats what this game is?

    What I mean is, message one of the forum admins, such as Indofyre and file a complaint about it.

    I think calling the game a joke is a non-issue, calling another player a joke is borderline insulting. Personally I wouldnt care what people call me, but thats not the case for everyone and that is why they have those rules which we should all at least be someone considerate of. Is it too much to ask to be a tad bit more civilized in our discussions ?

    Discussing moderation practice on the forums is also against the rules.

    You want to be banned or something?

    Also, you were insulting so somebody reported your post. End of story.

    they don't reply.

    I tried, I am waiting for several hours, I feel clearly insulted so I ask here what I done wrong. I just need other players's opinion.


    Do you realise I was WARNED for this post ?

    Easy way is to look at how your post was edited. Namely, the last line was removed. Likely for being inflamatory/insulting.

    But yeah, it's generally poor form to make a thread about why you received a warning, since in general the people on the forum don't know, and don't really care about someone else's personal grievances. Best to reply to the message directly, or send an e-mail to a support account (if Cryptic even has them, I have no idea).

    where am I insulting ?

    Being banned ? Obviously I don't care since I don't understand even what I'm writing, best move is to get banned.

    Now, I just need a reason.

    Yes, I know it is not the best move. I explained my reasons.


    Last sentence appears in clear here, I was replying to someone telling me I was a joke (or someone else was a joke) for his opinion. I was just replying he was the joke imho.

    Where is the insult ?

    Posts and/or private messages that, in any manner whether directly or indirectly, discuss disciplinary actions taken by Cryptic Studios against any user (including the poster) may be subject to an infraction.
    bye bye

    funny thing though, seeing all the trolling and flaming and general bs that goes on on this forum, you must've made someone who's friends with a mod angry cause I have yet to understand how moderation works on this forum. Its NOT by the rules, thats for sure

    That is the insult. If someone else called you a name on the forum they probably got warned too. But this isnt a school yard and so you should either ignore such obvious trolling or accept the consequences if you desire to flame back in a similar fashion.

    Just because your insult of calling them a joke was a response to them insulting you doesnt make your insult right or any less of an insult. . . cause and effect my friend. You couldve broken the cycle but chose not to.

    Calling someone a joke is clearly insulting. The amount of the insult is subjective of course but it is a clear insult and intended as such and is subject to moderation whether it was responding to someone elses insult or not.

    There are language trandlation programs out there. go get one, copy/paste the forum rules into your language, then realize why you just messed up

    and I was repliying to you posting moderation discussion. I havent seen anything saying you dont speak English. Curiosity though; how are you typing here, in english, if you dont speak it?

    Yes I was warned too on another post for something that was barely offensive and wasnt really that rude, and for all I know, the person I was responding too (who was even more rude and abusive), didnt.

    You can know how to write and read a language without knowing how to speak it... its kinda like being illiterate. I know how to read German, Russian and to a small extent Japanese, but I have trouble speaking or writing it.

    Just because someone else did it dosen't mean it is okay for you to do it. And you're the one who got called out on it, and now complaining about it.

    How is calling someone a joke in what at first glance appears to be a semi-heated forum post not supposed to be taken as an insult? Non-verbal cues like inflection and facial expressions don't translate well into text, so no one can tell if you're dispassionately replying, joking around, or threatning someone within an inch of their life.

    Discussing moderation is against our rules and can get you banned.

    What you received was just a warning not an infraction.

    We respond to PMs when we have the time, sometimes it takes a bit, you have to be patient.

    I leave it at that and close this thread....
