compl3x Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compl3x Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm just curious why it didn't expire. It might be a forum bug, that is why I posted it in this forum. +E.Worm Jimmy and garwin 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted July 14, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm just curious why it didn't expire.

cork1958 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrynalyne Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc2k Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm in a similar situation. Is this a bug or is the system manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKay Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Warning points don't get removed automatically even when told they should be. PM a mod to get it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 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. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted July 14, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted July 14, 2014 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 The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phouchg Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I wondered about mine, too. But better they remain there. Reminds me not to go all rageface in some threads... sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted July 15, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 15, 2014 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.

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: 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. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
