100%? doesn't that mean you are suppost to be banned?

im at 80%.. and already recieved a 3 day suspension :( and then another 7 day suspension for making another account. lucky my warning level didn't go all the way up :(

ive smartened up, and watch what i say... so should everybody else. and since everyone was so kind to report me... i now report everyone :rofl:

Quite simply, posting topics like this keeps your warning level up. Trust me, I know.

Keep your head down, stick to the rules and don't bother anyone. At all. That way, having a low-profile enables you to continue on as is - without any fear of having an increased warning level.

Put it this way mate, learning is part of life. You just have to try, try and try again. Alas, you need to get good - and get good quick. Otherwise your arse (just like mine) will be out of here.

I liked it there, is it possible for certain members, say Subscribers to have a setting to enable or disable it for their own viewing or something?

yea, good idea.

But really, who complained about that? And I do not see how there could have been that many people complain about it.

If you listened to that small number and act on their wishes, why not listen to the large number of users that has asked to start a new Opera sub-forum?

your stuck with your warnings, just as in life, you cannot erase your mistakes, no matter how much you have actually changed. Its a shame isn't it people actually have to pay for their crimes (i know, but its the best word that i could come up with)

You dont... people complained it cluttered the interface. :rolleyes:

So its gone now.

Yeah a few crybabies bitched till it was taken away, they didn't have enough sense to realize only they could see there warning level. I liked it myself.

The warning level used be viewable under your name and avatar in each post you made. People who had warnings complained that they didn't want to be reminded about it every time they posted, so it was removed from there, and you could then only see it when you viewed your profile.

However, I believe after Neowin upgraded to IPB 2.0, it was temporarily placed back under your name and avatar, until the decision was made to ultimately not allow members to view their own warning level.

From that day forward, and it continues this way even today, you must PM a Mod to find out your warning level. I believe you will also find out when you receive a warning. Otherwise, if you have never received a warning, then it should be at 0%.

As any Mod will currently tell you, there is no way at this time for your warning level to go down. The only time a warning is removed is when it was given in error, or if two Mods happen to be giving the same member a warning for the same offense and not realizing it until they hit submit. Your warning level is your report card or permanent record on Neowin.

Finally, your warning level being at 0% doesn't mean you are free to screw up a few times before you get a ban, and being at 100% doesn't equal an auto-ban. A ban can be placed on your account at any time, regardless of warning level, depending on the severity of your offense.

The simple solution to never having to worry about this is to just follow the rules. Neowin's rules are by no means strict, and no, the Mods do not have any personal vendetta against any particular member. They are doing their job and are fair and impartial to all the members as a whole, for the better of the site itself.

By the way, a lot of what I posted is actually common sense, but for some people, unless you type in black and white, and put it up for them to read, they won't get it. I'm not making this up either. This is all coming from what the Admins and Mods have all said in the past.

Same here, I actually think it would be a good additon to the Subscriber thing, having a option button or PM a Mod/Admid to enable or disable it on request.

Of course, im not sure if it is possible for certain accouts to be have this and others not or it might just be global on/off settings - I dont know.

Maybe a mod could forward this suggestion?

seeing as they aren't always warented and are more of abuse of powers.

Yeah since we love to abuse our powers all the time. :rolleyes:

Why do people think that??? ****ed they got warned for breaking the rules?

I've searched a lot of warns and never once did I think it was an abuse of power.

I don't think the mods abuse the warning feature, and the level meter doesn't really matter one way or the other, I liked it and I always felt if I got a warning then everytime I started to post a hateful or bad comment that little reminder over there might make me think twice, could possibly save me from getting banned. Just my thoughts about it.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
