Warning Levels

[vip]

It won't. I've been here much longer than you. I think I've have 40% for a long time. :unsure:

what in the world did you get warned for ? :l

[Spyder Veteran]

so maybe the mod deserved it! and the people too! and when will it go down?!

It doesn't go down. Its your permanent record. Whether or not anyone deserves it, flaming is against the neowin rules.

If you don't want it to continue going up, obey the rules :)

So what is your warn percentage based on? From personal experience I have been mistakenly been warned in the RWI forums but after mod review it has been dismissed yet it appears I am still 'guilty' regardless.

So is this like the unethical business practice where they only look at your arrest record and not convictions?

each warning is worth 20%. mistakes, when they occur, are subtracted from the warn meter. It appears you're where you're at for other reasons.

all this is is simply a record for the moderators to go look at what things you've been warned for in the past.

Ok, thanks Spyder. I can accept I'm a argumentative ******. I do think RWI should be a sliding scale IMO. ;)

I asked this question earlier, but focus was on another comment I made in my post...

But, do comments in the "front page" news articles have an efffect on the 'warning' level? I have seen plenty of violation of the rules there, and was curious if those people were exempt from warnings.

The higher your warning, the bigger your penis!

oh man

WHen you go into RWI it immediatly gets a bit toasty. Modding there must be like having to work as a cop in the rough part of the neighborhood.

hey no problem :) From what I've seen (this is all IMO.. I avoid modding there) RWI is a little more lenient given the nature of the discussions at hand and how heated they can get.

Oh! So 5 strikes and you're out.

I hope silly mistakes aren't worth 20%. :blush:

[Steven]

Yes

yeah, just don't say "MTV Sucks" near neobond and you'll be ok. :blush: :ninja:

(20 percent of my stupidity)

[....]

Yes...and if you wanna be a mod, don't get warned. :laugh:

[Tim Dorr Veteran]

No, it's not 5 strikes your out, because you can certain get a ban sooner ;)

[Spyder Veteran]

exactly. plus some offenses can get you more than 1 bump up on the scale depending on how bad it was

[aem4162]

neat thingy (Y)

[WS togermano]

remove my warning now!

[qdave]

yeah..cool stuff. useless for me though cuz i know i wont get any warnings ( dont play with me now)

anyway my question is what wil happen if u wil get warning of 100% ? (i know, i am just soo lazy to read about it)

[....]

remove my warning now!

By adding one more, we can make it all go away for you. :rolleyes:

[Spyder Veteran]

remove my warning now!

pretty sure we already covered this.

[Joel]

Yes...and if you wanna be a mod, don't get warned. :laugh:

:rofl:

[Dashel]

I am sincerly disappointed though that our warning level will never decrease though. Seems a bit draconian.

[kombolcha]

if this was implemented from the time i registered. i would be at 30% (assuming that every warning goes by 10%)

[bonobozoot]

In this thread, it says that it goes up 20% every time. So 5 strikes get you a 100% warning.

[Japlabot]

it's a rating of how many neowin rules you broke. when you do something bad, admins/mods will "warn" you..when it reaches some point, "you're outa here!".

Thank you Mxxcon, Neowin's Newest Moderator :rolleyes:

I'm just messing man ;)
