Warning Levels?

[Kansas_Jones 0]

<----------------------I've had this for a while now, and as far as I can tell nobody else has this warning feature. Is this a precaution?

 

I swear I'll be good!!

 

lol :D

Noone else can see your warning levels, but you and the GMs, I think. IT's a precautionary measure just incase anyone gets out of hand.

Oh okay. Thanks so much. didnt realize that.

I dont think the GMs have ever even warned anyone here on the boards. For the most part people behave themselves, although the occassional argument arises on one topic or another. I wouldn't worry about it.

OK, my understanding was that the ORIGINAL intent of the warning figures was as a tool to deter people from posting large files, signitures, pictures, etc. I don't think it was really used to discipline board conduct, just disk space. This was a couple upgrades ago when we didn't have an auto-resizer for pictures, etc. It might be irrelevant now.

Hmmm.....I wonder why mine's at 99%. Oh wait, now I remember.... hee hee.

Actually, I think they have.. Makavelli for instance said he has a 20% Warning Level, and I'm sure that Volch Du Sema dude had a pretty high warning level too. But as Vex said, I think Warnings are rare and you shouldn't worry about them too much. :D

That being the case, I can assure you that - if that is the intended purpose - my own level would be a lot higher. :D

As Sieben noted, the warning system has been, and currently still is being used.

 

When a waring level reaches 100%, the consequences are dealt with on a case by case basis. Only you, and the GM's can see your warning level. Should you start to reach 60-80%, you may be contacted by a GM to try to resolve what ever issue has created this warning level. Warnings may be as little as a talk to resolve an issue, to a ban from the boards or chatrooms for a lenght of time.

 

So...try not to get a warning... ::slaps ruler in hand::

Thanks everyone for the input. I was just curious about the warn feature.

Also... if your warning level reaches 100%, you automatically lose your posting rights. The only ones who can change that would be A9, Sovak, or myself.

 

Generally it's not that big of a deal though, as 95% of the people here don't break the rules and get warned for doing so.

We get warned for breaking the rules even though we don't break them?

Its to keep you on your toes.
