I think 2 of my warnings have been pretty unfair. In the last one I wasn't even being rude at all even though the other guy was, so I think he got me them to be fair. One of them I understand completely though, just one of those things

Zero so far. Guess i am a good boy.
Always try to avoid low content posts, and be nice to everyone, that too.

I come from a time before warnings and have been on probation 2 times technically 3 but I contested the last one and got it removed as it was undeserved.
I'm pretty sure I got a warning ages ago for insulting those who use comic sans, but right now my health bar is clean.
Honestly, I'm always careful with this sort of thing. I like this forum, have no wish to be booted out, and I know that the health bar takes a damn long time to recover.

I've had one warning, some months after I joined the Escapist, before the forum health bar. It was for posting an image in a thread without any text (this thread is bad and you should feel bad meme), as that adds no discussion value to the thread, however in my defence, the thread had no discussion value, it was something about Yahtzee riding a horse to the moon or something.
I don't know how, exactly, but I haven't gotten a warning of any kind yet. But I feel like every time I half-heartedly insult someone or hint at someone possibly not being genuine in their intentions, someone else's post is misconstrued and they get a warning for it. ^^
I once told a creationist troll he was the most ignorant person I have ever met. Worth it though, didn't even bother to read or skim through the last 20 or so pages of discussions and long explanations by multiple biologists and amateur, just went right for the answersingenesis best-of, already discussied on the first few pages.
Apart from that nothing, no. I think my charm prevents the mods from being mad at me. Either that or the explosives I had embeded in their skulls.

No warnings ever, clean as a whistle. Probably because I only post in threads that interest me and I'm not particularly susceptible to troll bait.
Never gotten a warning and I intend to keep it that way. I've always liked how well-mannered and well-policed this forum is. And in the rare case that a debate does turn bad, I've usually abandoned ship way before.
No warnings.
A good escapist isn't a good person, a good escapist is an asshole who just knows how to be subtle about it.

No warnings, no probations, no suspension, and certainly no bans. Talos, I am awesome.
Now to keep that streak for 20k more posts....

Actually the only warning I ever got was a low content that was way back before the health bar was implemented, so technically I'm pristine bitches!Copper Zen said:
Honestly though, it kinda surprises me. I know that I can be a fairly tenacious/stubborn person when it comes to discussion, and that I can get very stuck in with but the tiniest of investments, but I guess I've managed to toe the line between heated debate and insulting the opposition. I'd chalk it up at least in part to the community here, because even in the most venomous of debate topics *coughMassEffectcough* they always keep a level of control and respect for each other that I find both heartening and relaxing.
So to all my Escapist brothers, sisters, aliens, robots, zombies, monkeys, and anything in between, I thank you for helping create and maintain the arguably best community I've ever experienced on the internet, and for genuinely making my day damn near all the time!
Clean record since I signed up. Not really a massive achievement given that my post to time spent here ratio is not very high, though I think that has helped me avoid any low content warnings.
I got my first rather recently for making a very obvious joke at the expense of the creator of that thread calling us all sheep for buying EA games.
Totally worth it.
Amusingly enough, he was then suspended for the post I took the piss out of.

I told someone in no uncertain terms that he was a hateful little nugget of spite for complaining about comic titles that he clearly never had any interest in purchasing, even if the changes he suggested were implemented. A trip to any serious local comic retailer would have revealed shelves groaning under the weight of enough comic book titles that would neatly fit his personal politics and empty his wallet, languishing unloved, unsold and doomed to be consigned to the bargain bin come stocktaking.
People need to spend more of their own money on the things they want, instead of telling people what should be available to other people to spend their own money on. And for the record I still stand by decision to call them out on their self-entitled dickery. Talk like that is demonstrably cheaper than comic books are.
