Of course it's needed and don't go be calling a moderator rude, you'll get points from her.
I don't think Emma is calling Charlie rude, I just think she's saying that the manner that the original post was put across could be considered this way.
I do happen to agree with the OP because I do think that the trolling or whatever was getting quite high and disruptive however, perhaps it could have been worded a little differently. Having said that, hindsight is a great thing and as long as the thread reduces the amount of hijacking etc. then it's done it's job and that's what it was intended for so you cannot ask for more than that.
I understand I probably was being oversensitive and that the warning wasn't meant how I took it.
I apologise to Charlie and Tiff and I won't hijack threads (If I do unintentionally give me a nudge)

But if a thread is asking for advice or support, then if you don't have anything constructive or supportive to add then don't say anything.
I actually agree with this!, this is why i stay clear from the more serious threads because i have nothing really to offer.
And i do hold my hands up to being one of the bad spammers/hijackers which i know i need to stop doing as much, i have took the advice of the mods and other people.

You'd be surprised. Just listening and offering an outsider's perception on circumstances help an awful lot. Don't assume it's a natural skill, more often than not it's learnt by just observing others. Same with some threads where trolling/spamming aren't in good taste - not everyone gets it straight away and almost all of us have been there at some point or another.

I find it easier to support in chat then i do on threads, so i tend to try and keep supporting to chat and the forums for fun and "getting away" from it..does that make sense?...but yeah maybe sometimes my trolling comments/pictures don't go down they way i wanted them too so this is something i'm trying to work on.
I just thought I'd chime in on a point made earlier about the tone of the original post: I don't agree that a first warning (or any warning) should necessarily be gentle and coddling, as the point of a warning is to make it perfectly clear that a certain behaviour is unacceptable and will be punished if it continues, and in my experience, people will respond better to a warning if it's firm and authoritative than if it comes across as a whiny, submissive plea (as has been alluded to earlier in the thread).
In short, a warning needs to be harsh or it will probably be ignored, so long as it's not rude (and the original post did not strike me as being particularly rude).
Anyway, thanks for the reminder Charlie, and congratulations on the bun in the oven.
the recent trend of trolling and hijacking every thread with the sane inane bullshiit is just boring now.
Please stop making it impossible for people to have any kind of
conversation on this site, and also remember, thread hijacking is an infraction worthy offense and we will be heavily enforcing this over the next few days/weeks.
You have been warned.
thank you charlies.

Exactly this.
