The warning system

I got banned for 1 day yesterday. I don't know even for what yet. As far as I knew I had 1 warning, from a looooooooooong time ago. Yesterday I saw the 'banned' page, and I was banned for the reason: Double post. I don't know when I double posted, in what topic or whatever. The current warning system isn't a good one. Imagine you're on the forum for 7 years. You get 1 warning per year, that'll mean you'll be perma-banned then? I think 1 warning should be forgiven each 2 or 3 months. And there should be a Warning checker (I know you can PM the mods or admins, but this is more useful). If the admin(s) or mod(s) who gave me my 2rd and 3rd warning could respond to this message, and why they gave that warning, and why they banned me, I'll be happy.

Re: The warning system

Re: The warning system

While I'm pretty sure I've never gotten a warning, I'd agree that we need a warning system. The only place you get to see if you have a warning is if you go back to the thread it happened in, and sometimes I just post and leave forever.

Re: The warning system

Jad, I think I have seen you get a warning, but I forget where and when. It was a long time ago. I think it was for a double post. I also agree, but I think one warning should be relieved after one year. I mean, eventually we're all just going to be perma-banned.

Re: The warning system

I've tried to think of something like this, but I got a "decide on a case-by-case basis" response from everyone. Anyway this would be very difficult. We can't track your last warning. Or what each warning was for. All we have is a number.

Re: The warning system

That's what I mean. When I was banned, the page said that I was banned for "Double posting" while I only once double posted and asked the mods/admins to merge it nicely.

Re: The warning system

I have to agree I got a warning yesterday for suggesting that we close a old topic turns out i was grave digging. Also no one is really perfect I think after two months or one you get a warning off.

Re: The warning system

Here are the other reasons you got banned:
- Spam "I PM that I PM that"
- Very large sig
for an extra cost of 1 warning. You might have had another warning which got you banned in the first place.

Re: The warning system

Not a problem if you stop breaking the rules, is it?

Re: The warning system

I think that 2-3 months is too little of a time. Maybe 6-12 months would be more reasonable.
And yeah, if warnings don't wear away, then we will all be perma-banned sometime as Supadorf said.

I don't understand why you think everyone is going to keep breaking the rules.

Re: The warning system

Aslai has been foruming for 4 months or years (I don't remember) and he hasn't got a single warning yet. Why do you insist on getting warnings? lol.

Re: The warning system

most of us make some mistakes like double posting or making a stupid thread. it is inevitable for most of us.

The forums were made last October.

Gamer, you doubleposted on one of my topics. I'll see if I can get a link, but it was something like this:

Blablabla
----------
Double post, ignore this.

[EDIT] Blahaha. Found it on the first try.

Cough.
