Giving a verbal warning for double posting was a viable action if the posts were considered spam.
It is possible more information should have been given when the verbal warning was issued
(verbal warning here referring to the "Do you want a warning")

In my opinion, the first and second requests for the thread to be locked were understandable due to the continuation of discussion in the thread. After this another course of action possibly should have been taken. A verbal reminder was probably the best course of action by a mod. But as i have said before, more information may have been required to prevent this from happening.

This is my current view on these proceedings though I welcome any challenges to it or any new information/discussions. Also I wish to wait to hear from my master

Also, some spam cleared.

thank you for your input on this.

but if "Want a warning" is considered a verbal warning then that's a joke. imo.

after having looked through this section i can see that this "double posting" issue is similar to the masking issue.

STHU and GTHO are in fact masking a swear word and those two examples in particular "are" directed at an individual whereas something like OMG may not be. but yet STHU and GTHO are still allowed to be used even though masking is made clear in the rules itself.

so i see this as a similar thing. and ive pointed out that "double posting" is not specifically made clear in the rules yet i get a verbal warning for that?

oh and thinking about it now, the verbal warning was clearly not for the "double posting". if i have posted in my 2nd and 3rd post something like, "please can this be closed now the vendetta is over, thank you." and included that in my report with the 3rd post then i doubt i would have got that "Want a warning" pm. so it makes me wonder what exactly the verbal warning was for.
