Because you asked....

[Devastatin Dave]

Ladies and gentlemen, after numerous requests I've decided to make it public...
My warnings!!!
Yes, I've been asked many times through PM by various members what I've done in the past to make me the Backroom Bad Boy. I am an open guy, whether its my beliefs or my closeted homosexual desires, so I figured I'd "come out" of one of mankinds greatest mysteries; How exactly does DevDav get all his warnings? Please enjoy and feel free to post your warnings as well. Dirt is always interesting.... Oh and remember, this is just from when they started keeping track of your warnings!!! I've had many, MANY more before these!!! Enjoy...
PS. I also edited out the Mods names. But you will see that all warnings were probably justified so let it be a testimat of their hard work they do and the hard work I do to keep them employed!!!

Post On 08-17-2007 At 09:06 PM This doesn't look like a friendly jest, so: Don't attack moderators in public please. Especially since: a) You don't know the circumstances b) You don't know which of us may have issued a warning c) You don't even know if what was claimed is true You get a lot of slack from the staff DD - try not to abuse our good humour.

Post On 06-20-2007 At 13:28 PM 0 31 No Not actually a warning or even an alert. More a message of concern for your well being. Are you ok? I might not be the one to talk to, but I hope you are talking to someone either another Orgah or someone in real life. The post almost comes across as you are going through a major life crisis. I really hope not. Too many Orgahs have been suffering of late. Kindest Regards, Inactive

Here's your bust: equating another member that you disagree with, with a woman of loose morals/hero worship (as you see it) = personal attack. Not only non-contributory to the thread, but counter-contributory. 2 points for ignoring a previous alert. Adults are talking there. Stop interrupting with grade-school outbursts. Inactive

Post On 04-29-2005 At 17:45 Minor 1 31 No Hello Dave, this warning refers not only to one post in this thread but to several - not only are you (again) bashing a whole group of people based on their religion, but you are (again) attacking individual patrons that happen to disagree with you in a rather low way. I have to admit I am sometimes getting sick and tired of your posting style in the Backroom. It seems half of your posts only serve the purpose to insult people on this board, groups of people in general or to incite some flaming in the thread here. You might consider some of your remarks to be funny and witty, most people do not - and I guess receiving reports today from two different patrons that refer to two differenet offensive posts from you kind of underlines this. Congratulations. One could assume that you learned from your past here on this board, but apparently you have not. I am sure you are a nice and fun to have around guy in RL - but your current behaviour in the Backroom is unacceptable. Best regards in the hope that you manage to control yourself a bit better in the future Inactive

Post On 04-08-2005 At 07:07 Minor 1 31 No I hate doing this, but I have to; you attacked another Org patron directly, called him “” and used an excessive amount of foul language. You allowed yourself to be baited. I warned x too. One level, it must be done. It is not because I disapprove your opinion, but the fashion it came out. Please do not allow yourself to be baited again like this.

What happened to 02-04? Someone has a record....

Why does my instinct tell me that this thread will most likely end up getting you another alert/warning what ever the heck they are?

[Devastatin Dave]

I couldn't possibly get a warning for this one. Besides, I can hardly ever PM since I lose storage everytime I get warned and can't send and recieve!!!
This is a usefull thread and should be in the Backroom. Not only that, but this could be a thread to post "Because you asked" stuff.
Of course we all know how much of an attention wh... oops can't say that, got a warning for that word before, hmmm, let's see, ah yes... attention seeker I am.

Look at me I'm an idiot!!!!

[HoreTore]

I couldn't possibly get a warning for this one.

You do know that there are a bunch of nono words there, right?

[Banquo's Ghost]

Had to be on my watch, eh Dave?

I've edited out some of the words that got you into trouble in the first place, but I guess the rest can stay - pending a discussion with staff, of course.

[FactionHeir]

Hmmm quite a list there. What do the various levels of warning points do and what's the maximum you can get?

As an aside comment though, it seems that some mods are more lenient than others, for similar/identical offences.

But they usually discuss the "borderline" comments before issueing warnings. The obvious violations get the hammer regardless. They do a good job regardless. But its my part to keep them in line, they just don't realise it yet.

[Husar]

Did you ever receive a warning from Tosa himself?

[InsaneApache]

Prolly got a warning from every mod and admin on the board.

Always made me smile to see DD in the Entrance Hall, amusing and yet, somehow, satisying.

[Devastatin Dave]

Did you ever receive a warning from Tosa himself?

No, but Tosa has sent me emails before many times. Not because of behaviour, but congrats on when kids were born, you know life stuff. He's a great man. Most of the mods and I have had several offline talks about this or that. If I get into a LOT of trouble in a short period of time, Tosa has from time to time sent me a "Is everything ok Dave" emails. That happens when I drink a lot and he kinda figures it out. Tito is also a strong corner stone for me.

Dave, the thing that makes you such a likeable person despite the troubles you stir up, is that you are the rare patron willing to acknowledge you stepped over the line and accept the punishment dealt to you. I recall you being pretty well behaved by the time you were banished to the EH... except maybe that first time it happened, but as I recall you chilled out pretty quick with a little prompting.

Agreed. Definitely better than going the full-bore, "unfairly accused" route some take.

Quite an impressive body of work! Maybe you should ask Tosa to put in a self-warn feature, might save the mods some time.

Which makes me wonder: has Dave ever reported himself for trolling and flaming? Perhaps that should be the next step, complaining about the language in one of his own posts that hurt his sensibilities.

I always thought they should have a mod boot camp and for 6 weeks the newbie mod would have to follow any thread I participated in.

Hey Banquo's Ghost and Gregoshi, having to read through my warnings, was it like walking down Memory Lane or having a rectal exam with a wool glove?

A comeback worthy of Hunter S Thompson

[Devastatin Dave]

Which makes me wonder: has Dave ever reported himself for trolling and flaming? .

Yes actually. I've reported myself a couple of time. Once for language and I didn't have edit powers at the time, and for a personal attack on either Tribes or Idaho, I can't remember. It was a while back of course, the memory is lost in an alcoholic haze.

[drone]

This thread made me look, never noticed, but the "report post" button doesn't appear for your own posts. To the Watchtower!

It use to, I'm sure because I used it.

That nearly made me puke because of the hard laughing. I've just ate too much, and this nearly made me throw it up really fast.

That's the usual result when people see me naked as well. Sometimes the puke comes before the laughter.

[KafirChobee]

You mean there are people here that have never been warned? Geesh I once got one for an inference I didn't even realize had been made, 'til i re-read it about 20 times and saw where someone might take it wrong. Then I got warned twice or three times for one infraction.
Even had entire rants erased. ;(

Heck, Redleg use to turn me in about once a week for one infraction or another after he accused me of calling his family (ancestors anyway) of being racists - even though I had acknowledged that my ancestors owned slaves ('til like the 1830's or such) and he had to point out to me where he assumed such a reference. Of course that was years ago; or is it weeks? J/K, Red. just an example.
Did learn to tone done my expletive word usage, after a time. Do forget myself on ocassion though.

Still, congratulations Dave - you maybe the winner in receiving the most warnings. What kinda prize do you get? A or or just another ? Or, ?

[Devastatin Dave]

I'd prefer the whip please...

[Samurai Waki]

I've been slapped with a few warnings for using derogatory words here and there.. but that is impressive.

[Ice]

I think I've been warned twice.

Once I said another word for feces when I was drunk... in the drunk thread.

Another time I quoted what somebody said and got in trouble.

I think thats it.

Edit: Oh yeah, 2.1k :D

[Pannonian]

My edit button's currently gone, probably because I've been a naughty boy recently...

1 Devastatin Dave is enough for the whole Org, Pannonian.

[InsaneApache]

[Ironside]

Warnings? Whuts dat?

That said, I've been contacted by the moderators when they've deleated threads were I've been posting, but only to explain why the threads has been removed.

TBH, I do vaguely recall some of those posts that gave you warnings further back DD.
