Do you read why fellow posters get put on probation?

[144_v1legacy]

Often, I've seen someone put on probation for something that I don't think warranted, and frequently in response to a post that I feel deserves some consequenses itself. It makes me feel that the assholes get the last laugh and that the the Mods need to grasp the bigger picture. This isn't always true, but certainly happens more than I'd like...

 

[Puppetmaster24]

Yes. Yes i do.

 

[The .50 Caliber Cow]

Everytime I see one. I don't want to join the bitter ranks of the probated masses...

[Adam28]

I do it all the time, usually out of curiosity or boredom.

 

[Silent Biohazard Solid]

Yeah, it's usually pretty disappointing. I always expect some actual lines to be crossed. But it's usually just something barely worth probating.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

All the time. Some of the posts I don't get to be honest but others are downright hilarious.

 

[Boba Frag]

Oh, guilty as charged. Depends on the reason sometimes.. like, if someone is clearly being unpleasant and horrible, or unnecessarily combative.
As was already stated very early on in the thread it's mostly if it's a user that's been bugging me or if they've clearly just stepped on an accidental No No Mine.

Anyone bring up certain programmes for instance or advocating their use, for instance.
Though in the case of Ad Blockers, I'm thoroughly on the side of The Escapist mods.
Enough on that.

I'm also a nosey git, that's also a reason!

 

[Mimssy]

All the time. Just can't help myself.

 

[Brandon237]

Yes, but mainly for "teh lulz". It is fun to see what others do and good to know what not to do.

 

[InnerRebellion]

Of course. I'm a very curious fellow.

 

[Venereus]

I do it, but rarely. Thanks to this thread I have now found many uses to them!

 

[hexFrank202]

Every time, and usually I don't think they should have been punished.

Absolute agreement!

 

[TerranReaper]

Always, and most of the time, I honestly think they received a punishment for a really trivial matter. I even got a probation for a low content post that was technically on topic, but I'll leave that for another day.

 

[iBananaCrazy]

I do, just to see if it's funny or not.

 

[redisforever]

I do, because it allows me to see what not to do.
Never gotten in trouble on this site.

 

[Garrsus]

pretty much always, either out of curiosity or out of boredom.

 

[StealthyNinja]

Yep, I usually end up reading the whole thread as well
