Fred Derf Veteran Posted February 27, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted February 27, 2009 Can a mod PM me how much time is left for my warning? I think a couple months but not sure... [PM Sent] To answer another question, advertising bots and duplicate accounts are usually the only ones exempted from our usual judicial process.

Currently we show the warning levels just so our members know what their current warning level is (and so they don't have to ask us to tell them). It would be nice if it would only show the warning meter for those that actually have a warning percentage greater than 0% but we do not have such precision controls. Then the people who don't see the panel would know that they have a 0% warning level. Perhaps such a feature will be added to future versions of IPB or perhaps it takes too great a server toll to be worthwhile.

When did I get a warning and what for? Since by following your reply I take that to mean I had a previous warning level which I have no recollection of receiving. 2. If it is a software limitation I can't fathom that since I see very few others in the forum. 3. What was my prior warning level, when it was received, and when was it recinded? I think these are reasonable questions and it has bothered me for awhile, and having recently purchased my 2nd subscriber subscription maybe someone could help.

Thanks You can relax; you're in a completely clean state. :) You didn't receive any warnings at all in your time spent on Neowin, but despite that your empty warning level bar will still appear beside your posts as Fred explained - warning bars cannot be hidden for people on 0%. Any warnings you get will be brought to your attention - there are no 'hidden' warnings.

I'm still puzzled as I spent 45 minutes looking through the forum and as of yet mine is the only one seen? If I've never been warned how did I get a warning level bar, how did it get set to 0% from nothing, and why don't I see any others?

If I've never been warned how did I get a warning level bar, how did it get set to 0% from nothing, and why don't I see any others? Regular members and subscribers cannot see other people's warning levels for obvious reasons. It'll be cannon fodder for people to use in heated arguments such as "oh, your warning level's all the way up to 100%, no wonder you're such a (bleep)." The warning bar has always been there for the past few years, whether you've been warned or not. As you can see from earlier posts in this thread (or another older thread), it was added to cut down on the amount of PMs sent to moderators asking how high their warning level is. can an admin tell me how much warn i've got left.(months/weeks) it seems like ages nowplease pm me Did you save the PM sent by the mod that warned you? Take that date and add six months to it.

Barney T. Administrators Posted April 18, 2009 Administrators Share Posted April 18, 2009 can an admin tell me how much warn i've got left.(months/weeks) it seems like ages nowplease pm me It is against Neowin policy to discuss member's warn status (or any other type of moderation on a particular member) in public or in threads such as this, so in fact, yes, getting your warn level PMed to you from a staffer is the way to go..........

Fred Derf Veteran Posted April 18, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yes, warnings come down in 20% blocks at a time. There needs to have been no incidents during the six month period (and if I sent you a PM then I would have told you about any incidents that would have interfered).
