To warn or not to warn? That is the question.
Well, according to numerous Whyvillians with
complaints, they are leaning on the 'not to warn'
side.
There have been many cases recently in which
immature Whyvillians randomly warn anyone in sight.
This is not the purpose of the warning system... is
it?
Sure, there are those people who definitely act
wrongly and something should be done to them... but if
you warn someone to show other people that he is bad,
he'll just warn you back! Then wouldn't other people think you are bad also??
With all of the new tools in Whyville
(vaporizing, silencing, 911 reporting), many people
question -- WHY DO WE NEED WARNING?
It all started out from a good idea to mainly
focus on those older, strange adults who like to mess
with children's minds or just plain rude people.
Well, sure, it could still be used for that, but
truthfully, if I saw some other kid being harassed by
an adult, I would definitely report them instead of just warning!
This warning thing has gotten out of hand and
many would agree that it is basically useless right
about now (except to start a fight!).
If you feel the same way as I do about this, then
please go and sign the petition by Joanna called 'To
Warn or Not to Warn' and hopefully, we will actually
be able to do something about this.
Adios mis amigos!
And by the way... you should NOT warn when:
- A person does not want to give away clams or face
parts.
- You just feel like warning someone.
- Someone does not answer when you talk to them
(they may be busy or maybe you just are not loaded on
their computer!).
Thanks for listening!
