What happens when you are put in "Time Out"

[alphaod]

I bet if you sent a PM to a mod they could accommodate your request. 😀

But that would entail that I was gone for a reason (usually a bad one).

Or you could just let everyone believe that 😉 Depends on what you're going for, I guess.

i do wish in timeout you could log in but not post just so you could contact a moderator
as it is now once you are in timeout, you cant get any feedback whatsoever

And I think it's to prevent people from sending "feedback" a.k.a. "hate mail" to moderators about their time out 😉

What happens when you go to Time-Out?

Well, you go to a beeeeaaaaautiful place full of magical creatures, unicorns and rainbows. You stay there until you have thought well how to behave correctly in the land of peppermint and chocolate.😱😱😱😱😱

Joke aside, you get spanked by the moderator who gave the Time-Out to you.

no he was not posting. those posts were prior to him being in time out

you cant log in if in time out...i know

Gotcha and thanks for the clarification!

I usually read the offenders last few posts to try to figure out why they were put in time-out. I usually can't find the offending post, are they usually deleted?

Moderators can be contacted even if you aren't logged in via the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the site.

If a user deserves to be in Time-Out, then they usually have had the offending posts deleted.

Not that I'm an expert or anything, but I think that the posts that caused the time out are usually worthy of deletion.

No wonder my searches haven't turned up much! 😉 🙂

Always amusing to see that almost in every thread about how people get banned or a time-out usually ends up with at least 1 member getting banned or a time-out. 😛

I think the question has been answered sufficiently.
