How to get your warning level down?

[Chode]

Perhaps he just gets a kick out of being respectful.

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.

Cody

Sorry to disagree, bangbang023...but if THAT is respectful then I should be an Adminstrator by now :rolleyes:

Would a mod be so kind to tell me what my warning level is at?

Me too, please :yes:

^ That's a 26 page thread in which we first were able to see our warnings, which it seems Redmak enabled at the suggestion of a member who is now banned.

It should be noted that the biggest opponent against the warnings on each post is the man I like to think of as the member most experienced in all things Neowin, a member who was one of the first 350 members of this place, who has been here since around the second month of this forums existence, who has in excess of twenty one thousand posts, and is also the top poster here at Neowin: Steven/xStainDx

If you've never recieved a PM from a Mod, SMod or Admin, then yours is at 0%. They tell you when you've been warned and why.

From what I know of-I've gotten 2 PMs about my warning level being increased-What would it be at-If I've gotten 2?

[insanekiwi]

joseph: i suppose 40%. i havent gotten a warning so i dunno really. sorry. just pm a moderator and ask.

I think they should tell us not only when we're warned but what % it carries. I wasn't aware that you didn't find out what % point the warning carried.

Cody

[shrike]

Like I told you when you PM'ed me, as of now, you don't. I don't know how many times it has to be said.

585823347[/snapback]

Three times will usually do it.

[y0sh]

Does a warning level even matter then? From what I gather in this thread, it's just for show lol.

[Zilos]

How bout my Warning Level, out of curiosity. Since I know its went up, but have no clue how much?

[insanekiwi]

zilos: pm a moderator and ask.

[Zilos]

Alright, my warning level is at 20% for resurrecting an old post. Crazy...

[ninjakarl]

That'll learn ya.

But onto the pressing discussion at hand. Warning level's should be viewable to people who want them. The easiest way todo this is to create a topic saying that you can now view your warning level's in the following places yada yada yada if you wish to have this feature activated please PM a moderator/super moderator/admin etc.

Then the people who don't want it don't have it and the people who do, do.

Edit: I was just wandering. So it's against the rules for us to sign up and create a new account if we don't like our nickname but are unable to have it changed.

I might also PM a mod im interested to know my warning level :)

edit: I PM'd some purple highlight dude 'Neobond' to get mine now awaiting a reply :p

[JMann Veteran]

I have been here for quite a few years now, and believe mine is still at 0%, but it makes me think have I or haven't I. I respect this place, and the people who run it, stick to the rules, and you can count on that you will be fine.

it really means nothing in my opinion. especially since we can't even see our warning how is it any type of punishment so to speak.

i've been warned a few times, but i know my warning has been lowered atleast once. but that in no way changes how i act or say things on the forums.

regardless of your warning level the mods or admin will ban you whenever they see fit. so i think it's just a waste of time even bothering with them or caring what % you are at.

Correct.

No alternate accounts are allowed. Should you be disciplined with a restriction or ban, you are not allowed to open a new account to obtain freedom to post. Restrictions and bans are given for a reason, and usurping that ability by re-registering is not tolerated. If another account is opened, that account will be banned immediately, and the original account will be further penalized. Anyone who has warnings on their account are automatically excluded from changing their user name.

If you read what was posted about the suggestion the warning level will not be in every post, only in the members profile.

Either way I could care less if it was posted or if it was hidden.

well... you need to look at it from a mods perspective. me not being a mod.. results may vary LOL

there is a TUN of users.. and a small percentage are trouble makers. example, someone the other day, kept spamming his dumb free money threads. and they ended up banning the first user, and he made a new account, spammed again.

if you were a mod.. i dont think you'd want to warn the same person more then once. it is there job, and i respect there decision... but it's not easy reading threw 4,000,000 posts, and cleaning out the bad...

585827416[/snapback]

I've been at 80% for like 1000 posts now :blush:

Just get over it :p

[Guol]

i think im at 20% still...that was from when i first joined neowin and flamed a member due to my immaturity :yes:

wish that option was still on though, because everytime i saw it, it reminded me of what a jerk i was and made me think about what i was posting.
