Can you find out you're warned without returning to the thread?

Hypothetically, let's say I break a forum rule in a given thread, and then I never look at that thread again. A mod will post (in that thread) that I've received a warning, but will I know without returning to the thread? Will I see the warning displayed in a PM or in a special notice?

Juuuust curious.

I'd like to know this too. As far as I know, the only other way to find out if you have any warnings is to PM a mod or admin, but they might not be able to tell you why you got that warning. Checking every single new post you have made is just pointless.
We should have some page that shows you how many warnings you have, which post(s) you got them in, and why.

We ourselves can't see why or where. Just how many.

Simple, the mods should just P.M. us instead after they have warned us on the topic. You know, if that's not too much of a problem.

:/ I wasn't suggesting this was a problem, I was just curious.

@SmittyW. If I did consider it a problem, I wouldn't suggest mods manually issuing warnings (inefficient & increases mods' workload); I would suggest a streamlined system, like auto-notifying the user when a warning is issued (assuming that warnings are officially issued and remembered within the forum database).

...but I won't be lobbying for such a change.

The link for new warnings takes 'em to the post in which they were warned. If there are multiple, the link will remain after it is clicked, and take them to the next reported post.

Welcome. By the way, for future reference, in this forum the link hex code is 60A0DC. If you ever want something to look like a link, just do this.

Re: Can you find out you're warned without returning to the thread?

Chimi, was that a suggestion or is that actually how it works.

If it was just a suggestion, the only way to figure out is to ask a bad kid or make another account and be bad.

We all know jakery has a dark side.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

*sigh* Why are the mods taking so long to answer? Oh wait, nvm, they don't know either.

...why are the admins taking so long to answer?

Impossible. The warning system doesn't work that way right now. We don't click a button and they're warned. It's done from they're profile, not a specific post.

Is anyone looking into solving that problem, Ruri?

Re: Can you find out you're warned without returning to the thread?

Exactly. howTF am I to know if I've ever broken a rule? Surely, you're not going to do a 'official warning check' thread, are you?

You could just PM any moderator, myself, Cyc, or RPG.

Well, I'm suggesting this so that a system can be devised where something similar to this could work. Maybe a series of input boxes, like this.

User
[______]

Post Link
[______]

Rule Broken
[______]

Message
[______]

and the moderators fill these in. The system will send the warning to %USER%, and the message will me something like this.

]You've broken the following rule: %RULE_BROKEN%, At [url=%POST_LINK%]this[/url] Location. %MESSAGE%

%THESE% are variables. thats the only way i know how to do them. (from cmd scripting :3)

Re: Can you find out you're warned without returning to the thread?

That'd be a lot of work where we only had to type "Warnings: 1" into a box before.

About PMing mods, you wouldn't be PMing mods everyday to see if you have new warnings, right? I mean like, you go a random day and say "I'm gonna PM a mod to see if I have warnings cuz I'm bored *PMs*"
