Why do I still have 4 warning points?


Recommended Posts

Unless I am misunderstanding how the system works, the 4 points I have should have expired on:

Given 2 points - expire on Apr 19 2014 12:01.
Given 2 points - expire on May 08 2014 12:50.

Yet, I still see this under my name:

Shouldn't that have gone away? I've been a good lad.  :happy:

PM a MOD or ADMIN and they will take care of it.

I'm just curious why it didn't expire. It might be a forum bug, that is why I posted it in this forum.

it's because those points are from the old warning system

Same thing happened to me a little while back.

 

I see yours have been removed already, so all is cool!!

 

Reminder to self. Look up when my 2 points expire now! :)

 

Edit:

June 29th, mine are set to expire.

While we are on the subject, remove mine too please.

 

I don't think its exactly balanced to have a warning point from OVER a year ago with no set expiration.

 

 

Just sayin.

 

I know calling someone a nut is hardcore, but I've paid my dues :p

I have the same problem.  A fix would be nice :)

 

That being said, I didn't think I deserved the points I got and I PMed the mod that gave me the warning and never heard anything back at all.  Even if it was a "Sorry but you deserved it" I was hoping to hear something back.

It "should" be an automatic thing to get your points removed, but its not, so just bug mods until they get off their butts and do it.

NO EXCUSES MODS :P

I did want to say, 'Because everybody hates you :p '

But seeing as they've been removed now, it seems childish to do so :cry:

The problem here is because we built the warning system ourselves a decade ago, and IPB only caught up with a decent warning system in the 3.3x series (I think) so we didn't add our own (full) hack for it with that update. It means that legacy points from the old system kind of messed up the reduction system on the new, it's not really a priority to fix, people who were never warned on the old system will not have this problem.

Cool. There is some Neowin history :cool: - I am part of that history.

Lies. I'm adored. Loved, even. I had to choose whether to keep my "badboy" 4 warning points, or trade them in for a clean slate. I choose the latter.
