Hmmmm, being a self professed master of accents I'll take a shot.
I'm going for my shower now, I'll be back when I can be bothered, no problems boys and girls.

Oh god, the Scottish accent is ridiculously hard to make out when it's written down. I'm also from England although Liverpool-ish but i don't have a scouse accent so i refuse to try and decipher the slurs and make them into letters.
I'm on here quite a lot i wasn't the past few days because i sprained my wrist and couldn't really use my laptop, but now i'm back.
How sad, I wanted to see what you could come up with. I wonder how close I was to deciphering it?Quote:

See, I told you that I was the self-professed master of accents :lol:. I like to study other languages so that I can decipher the accents.
Yeah, I'm quite good at understanding people either way. Except in Aberdeen (Scotland). Most other places in Scotland can't understand even the Aberdonians. They actually have made-up words for lots of things :O It's really difficult if they are born and bred Aberdonian, and speak very fast :(Quote:

Yeah it is kinda hard for most people to understand :lol: I'm from Inverness though (beside Loch Ness) and our words are VERY pronunciated. Most can understand Invernesian accents quite easily.Quote:

I'm from St.Helens unless you like rugby or John Bishop I doubt you've heard of the place. It's pretty small really and supposedly has the highest unemployment rate in England (how nice.)
I bet this will surprise you, I know St. Helens is. I don't remember where I heard it but I did.
Man, you have it easy. Try being a Kiwi. I get Kurt Zisa occasionally. That's it. I get the border edge of the Australians before I hit the hay (but who wants that, amirite); North American insomniacs; and the Continental Europeans (Rags, Freya -- I think it's morning for them when I post).
I like being alone on the forum though. It allows me to make a post and then edit it at least six times because I have some weird inability to spot my typos in that little text box, but they leap out at me when I read it in published form.
Yeah i've hear of St. Helens, John Bishop is a legend, he's hilarious :lol:Quote:

I'm half-Scottish, ethnically. We could be related or something. My clan is the MacLarens.
Australia is between 5 and 2 hours behind New Zealand.
Oh, I know a few MacLarens. I'm a Ferguson with one S, which is American. But I still class myself as Scottish even though the rest are Irish and American.Quote:

There are a few of us on at those times for England every night.
I'm from the USA,but you could always talk to me! ;) Lol,I am usually on like all day (I get very bored during the day..) and when I am on...there is like no one to talk to unless some of my friends are on.:o
New random ramble guys :)
The validity of warnings, and do you actually care if you get a warning?
I received a warning on the basis of carrying on an argument after being ''warned'' to stop arguing (even though the said person's ''warning'' didn't even hint at 'stop arguing').
The post I received the warning for consisted of myself actually stating that I was no longer going to be arguing as I wish to avoid warnings for as long as possible. This questions the validity of warnings, as they are handed out for the most miniscule discrepancies, with no substance to support the reason for the warnings. What my warning tells me, is that the person who “warned“ me to stop arguing, has seen me say “I am not going to argue anymore.......want to avoid warnings“ and thought that they would just hand one out.
Now for the next topic, Do We Care About Warnings?
Well, yes I would have liked to avoid warnings, however, I'm not phased at receiving one. If it's for a good reason, and the reason is valid, then yeah, fair enough. But, even if the reason is unjust, I still personally (don't know about the rest of you, please share opinions) am not really bothered. Yes, to an extent, warnings keep people in check, and are there to “punish“ the offenders, but it's not like a warning on a forum is going to deter the worst offenders, it's not like the warning will affect your ACTUAL life. It is just binary code, which is coded to come up as little red writing on the bottom of your screen.
End of rant lol :lol:
Please answer both questions as honest as you can, but not flaming, “arguing“ (since someone else can enter your brain and decide that you're lying, not debating) as you may be given a warning.
Be good, don't be bad, this is a decent forum, it's just the Human Condition that gets in certain people's way when they are given “power“ over pixels :lol:
P.s I quite like my warning now, it reminds me that I'm not afraid to just say what's on my mind without “dressing“ it up.
Excessive use of “ on this thread :O
I think I have had one warning before and it was for spam,which I still don't get to this day,but anyways it didn't really bother me.Warnings are useful when it comes to the 'bad guys',but other than that..I really could care less about them( i dont plan on breaking the rules anyway).If I do get a warning about something,I'll usually just find out why I got the warning and then move on with my day.:roll:
Precisely, the system should be fore those who are OBVIOUSLY trying to either tick someone off, or try to insult someone. The fact it was used because I posted to END an argument, is just ... Well, looking for an excuse to hand out a warning basically.Quote:

Its a little red sentence in the corner of your posts..... OOOOHHHH .... like its silly
Yep, they are useful for trollers and a holes....
but its only the internet... which is unimportant to my well-being ... i dont take anything on the internet seriously ... and why should I :)
P.S ... I think those little red sentences are rather snazzy
Haha I agree :')Quote:

Ah, you have a great achievement, you should be so proud of the red letters :lol:.
Warnings aren't what they used to be. Back in the day, it used to be a three strike system. You do anything wrong and get caught, it'd be a warning. There would be mass debates on if TFF was too strict, and definitions of "spam" and "is". It was glorious.
This was what it was like:
I've never had a warning (someone had better pat my head) :) . Why have i never had a warning? 'Cause i'm a good boy, and as most of you are saying it's only the internet. The thing i don't get is why people argue things to death on the internet, of course it's a community and there will be disagreements but if you choose you never have to talk to the person again in most cases.
Also warnings help to create first impressions, I usually rank them like this:
1) Probably just an accident
2) I'll keep an eye on this person
3) It's Che
Is it when you get to 100 you get excecuted?
hahahahaha
THAT'S A PADDLIN'
This is the thing, even things that aren't argued to death, just people exchanging opinions led to a warning, or in my case, telling a certain member that I am no longer arguing with them, which led to ME getting a warning.Quote:

Such fun :)
You would've loved 2001-2003, back when I had my glorious ascent to power, riding the hardline against spam and stupid people.Quote:
