How to get your warning level down?


Recommended Posts

Hey this is strange...

I received a warning from shockz a few months ago. He said he increased my warning level, because I posted a funny picture. Anyways, my warning level isn't at 0% then, that's for sure.

But recently, I beleive it was Joel who changed my name from Status_Seeker to status_seeker... So what's up with that? I thought I had a warning level, but I was still allowed to change my name. :s

Because you weren't changing your name from Juan Valdez to [[rgfd]-{Y}

Shorter answer; you didn't really change your name, you changed the case of some letters. We will also change members names to remove special characters, such as ?, no matter the warn level.

Ahhh oka:):) Thanks!:D:D

please do not change me back. But I have a warning level of 40 and I a mod let me change my name from SilentSalamander to Mr Farrar with no problem. The case was alot of people googleing my site were finding these darn threads so I had to take care of it. And yes I think being able to see your warning level is a very very good idea.

I personally think that the warning level should stay. But I also think that maybe after some time (maybe a year and a half or so), if the offence wasn't that bad and the mods feel that the person has really smartened up since then, that they may take it away.

I admit I have a warning level (don't know if it's 10 or 20%) for saying something really stupid about cracking Windows (which I also noted was illegal in the same post). I didn't give any links and I told them not to PM me cause I don't help or condone illegal activities (yes my version of Windows is legit).

Anyways, I recieved the warning and instantly realised what I said may have been wrong and I accepted my mistake and wrote an apology to the mod about my post (I knew it wouldn't take away my warning level but I wanted the mod to know that I understood what I did wrong and I wasn't going to make that mistake again).

So far I have never recieved a single warning and I have tried to stay as close to the rules as I possibly can.

The sad part about the warning is just a week or two earlier, I had PMed a mod for a name change. The name I wanted to change to was JUST registered (wasn't when I had thought about it). So I was thinking of a new name to change too and then this heppened.

I don't want to be forgiven for my mistakes at all because I know what I did was wrong and I would have probably given out a warning myself if that situation, but I just hope the mods understand that it was one small mistake and one step over the line which I didn't want to exactly take in the first place. I just want to change my nickname once cause this one has been "over" and past tense for about a year and a half now.

I didn't warn you for posting a "funny picture". Why would I do that :rolleyes:

I warned you for something completely different. Check your PM if you still have it.

Wow...

Can I just get this account deleted and re-register under a new nick because I so do not want this nick no more, It's now known as Kangie's nick, long story but to make it short she is now known on the net as Mess.be Fanatic, and I am now known as XxRebelSeanxX...

No.

If we erase your account, then we erase all information such as warns, ip address, etc. We use all of that information to keep track of duplicate accounts and behavior history.

well i got a 100% warning level but i really dont agree with whichever mod it was who did it to ban me having a sig

mine was the one with the kid giving the middle finger and he said he restricted it because people were putting all sorts of **** on it! but its not like i was writing that!

crap

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.

shockz I have same bad news for you!

You, a mod, broke rule number 3, espically in a thread about warnings :-/

Rule 3:

[https://www.neowin.net/forum/rules.htm]

No Cursing or Swear words. We encourage you to use our Communities as a forum to debate topics, but please use proper adjectives to express yourself. We do not tolerate circumvention of our word filter or abuse upon another member.

Maybe another mod should warn him :-p

I can say **** or **** as long as I don't bypass the word filter. ;)

Do what I do, don't worry about it. Look not to be ****ing people off as well. Then you have no problems. The mods and admins are quite anal about obscure rules, which they alone decide what means at any given time. If you value posting here, then do your best to follow the guidelines, otherwise, happy trails... :cool:

I had a warning level in the past, but when I view my own profile page, there is none.  Am I missing something as far as looking it up, or did it go away? :huh:

585845148[/snapback]

I see it is still there; it didn't go away.

PM a mod to get details.

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use some unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
