The main difference between Linux and Windows is that for the most part, with Linux you actually have to know how to use a computer to use your computer, as opposed to Windows where everything is handed to you on a silver platter - and a cracked platter at that. And maybe the fact that so many people proudly display the penguin shows the number of people smart enough to switch...

Don't fear, I just changed my title to "BANNED" since I can't think of anything better than "RPG Wizard" and I thought it was funny.

You don't have to switch, that's the beauty of Linux, just install it so you can choose Windows or Linux at start up (dual boot).

If Arcane Wizard continues to mess with his warn settings, we will either warn him, or take back his abillity to use the warning system under his moderator permissions.

Watch out, JBirk may warn you for that. Add a cohesive sentance to your post so he will leave you alone.

Well, if you want to change somebody's warn level, you click on the [-] or [+] and then you get a form to fill in and when you press [alter warn level] you confirm your action and actually change it. Oh, and you can click on anybody's warn percentage to read moderator's notes on why that person's warn level was changed.

Be carefull though, if you change your own warning level accidentally while testing if it can be negative and later change your own warn level again because Jbirk complained about you spamming, Jbirk will post a message saying to everybody (and you indirectly) that you will either be warned or stripped of your ability to change people's warn levels instead of just sending a pm to you asking what the hell you're doing. Sad
