If you count them all, this sentence has exactly seventy-two characters.
Post on this page how long you want to be probated, and maybe why.

I want a month because I can't get 2 months.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Desired probe length: I would like to be probated for 0 hours - that is, I would not like to be probated at all

Rationale: I already essentially self-probate for days if not weeks at a time, but I like the freedom to decide to post or not

15 minutes if a thread you created gets gassed.

30 seconds. Because that'd be kinda funny.

Edit: I think that'd be shorter than the time it takes my router and modem to restart when I lose Internet.

It's this but also I'm sure Astral or Jeff could probe you for one second if they wanted to bad enough

It's been awhile since I've been probated.

Mods hit me with whatever length probe you think is appropriate based on your personal opinion of my value as a poster. I will not judge you for your choice.

I am hurting for a sixer. A sixer per week is good to keep your posting form strong and consistent. Too many posters try going weeks, months even without sixers and you can tell by their mediocre postings. More advanced posters who make at least 10 posts per day on average should consider two sixers per week, but not everyone should do this without guidance from someone more experienced.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

I actually have never noticed a probation and only realized that I had the ones I do when I checked my rap sheet out of curiosity

I think there's been some semantic drift in probes. When introduced they were almost as serious as a ban, but now it seems there's a category of probes that don't really add bad mojo to your rap sheet - like, if someone is being a shithead and they have 4 comedy 6er probes from a year ago, that's like having no probes at all.

I guess it hides some shitheaddery, in the sense that it could be easier to hide serious probes in the noise when your rap sheet is like a CVS receipt, but I'm definitely not enough of a qcs regular to know whether that's a thing

during my brief time as a gbs moderator i once had some guy literally sending me death threats over aim because of a 6 hour probation i had given to his wife or girlfriend or something, they formed some kind of incredibly annoying "posting team" together. i forgot their names but they had dog avatars and shitposted constantly

feeling anything more than the tiniest pang of momentary annoyance at getting a sixer is a sign of mental illness

I legit have no idea why anyone would ever want an unpaid job like that

I mean, I guess it’s a low stakes way to learn how to deal with people in a position of “authority” maybe?
