Hi,

As I belive you know I have been pleasantly surprised with a PM from Oldgamer giving me the opportunity to become a Civitate of the TWC. So here is my required paragraph.

Being picked for Civitate, as the Syntagma states, illustrates that I have been contributing positively to the forums in one way or another. With the title of Civitate I hope to continue doing so and to set an example for newer members of the TWC (and to those few who's intent is to disrupt the site). Like all people though I am not perfect. I have one user note recieved after a misunderstanding in the forum rules. I apoligise for it and I can assure you that I am now 100% clear on the do's and do nots. I like helping people when I can. I find it to be very satisfying when you know that today you have helped someone overcome a problem in their life, technical or personal. So if I earn Civitateship and become a more recognised and respected member of TWC then I should be more likely able to aid members and add to the TWC reputation as a helpful and friendly place.

Thank you,
James.

Couldn't they have waited until the warning is expired. I mean, I really don't like to make anyone civitate with active warnings.
Other than that, he is always polite and very helpful in the post I reviewed and - better he keeps topics "on topic".

It is done with a "yes" for me.

I have to say no due to that unexpired usernote.

Yes. Even though he does indceed have an unexpired warning (10 days to go...) I feel he posts well, develops arguments on occasions, is helpful and very polite.

abstained

No. It's necessary to have no current warnings to ensure staff that he will not repeat his behavior. The fact that his is "nearly" passed isn't enough to convince me.
