Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 15, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2006 when you break the rules (look at the top of every page, Forum Rules) you get a warning. you'll get 1 block filled in. when you hit 4 blocks (80%), you get a suspension, (not allowing to post for a certain amount of time, i think it's 3 days). break 5 rules, and you'll get the 5th block, (100%), and get a 2 week suspension? or is it a week.. if you dont break the rules for 6 months, you will get a warning reduction. it's automated. Only if you have a warning on your account dont break the rules, and you'll have no problems :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432592-warn/#findComment-587197129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 just curious what this wam thing is under the user info. wam% and like five blocks It's 'Warn', not 'Wam'. when you break the rules (look at the top of every page, Forum Rules) you get a warning. you'll get 1 block filled in. when you hit 4 blocks (80%), you get a suspension, (not allowing to post for a certain amount of time, i think it's 3 days). break 5 rules, and you'll get the 5th block, (100%), and get a 2 week suspension? or is it a week.. if you dont break the rules for 6 months, you will get a warning reduction. it's automated. dont break the rules, and you'll have no problems :D None of the breakdown you stated is actually right. :p But the fact that you can get warned is true. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432592-warn/#findComment-587197147 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted February 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 18, 2006 I usually restrict/suspend after multiple breakages of the same rule. If you have been warned once about a rule then I figure you should know it by now. Members can also be restricted right off the bat for some rule violations like warez.

chopyaedoff Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Warez, Flam baiting & Insultings members will each get you a warning - I know, I have 60% warn because of that.

yisman Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 As the moderators mentioned, suspensions are handed down when they are deemed necessary, not as an automatic once you reach a certain warn level. That's pretty much how it works on all moderated forums. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432592-warn/#findComment-587220846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawx Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'm pretty sure I haven't broken a rule in over 6 months, and mine still hasn't gone down. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432592-warn/#findComment-587226253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
