RadioGod Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Warning % or points...how long do they stay? Is there a system/script that deleates said negivitve points after awhile? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfstein5 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) AFAIK, they stay until a mod decides to lower/negate them "for good behavior" or whatever reason. They're never totally removed. Edited June 10, 2008 by wolfstein5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
i_is_oli Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I've had mine on my account for bumping one of my threads a few years ago... As far as I'm aware they don't get removed after a certain period of time.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissyg Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Wolf, you've pretty much got it. They're removed when a mod notices that your forum behaviour has improved usually after 6months or so, otherwise they're kept there as a way of flagging members down if they re-offend Noone else can see them apart from us.

Stealthbomber Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Personally, I do make a point of randomly clicking on a few peoples warning levels every day and if I see one that was added ages ago I WILL remove it. Thing is, there's no formal limit on warnings simply to discourage repeat offences. If a person knows their warning will last 6 months (for example) and then vanish then they can decide how often to break the rules without getting banned. You really only need to worry about warning points if you receive more than one warning for the same thing. If that happens it means you're not learning from your mistakes and/or you're determined to continue that behaviour. In that case your points WILL remain for longer and we'll be paying closer attention to your future posts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

msx361 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 His question has already been answered in another thread a few topics down from this one. That's my point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfstein5 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 His question has already been answered in another thread a few topics down from this one. That's my point Bah! Warning points for you, you cheeky *fruitcage*! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I don't even notice I have warning points... It's like Whose Line is it Anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 We delete at our discretion. Generally good behaviour of 6 months or more followed by a request by the user to have 10% removed is a general basis for getting 10% removed. This obviously means it'll take a while longer to remove warn than it does for someone to get them, but hey - if you can't handle the time, don't commit the crime.
