Whats A 'warning Point'

[Howard]

Moderating type gentlemen and or ladies.

 

As above -- I dont have any shown but what are they for and why are they below my user name on my posts.

 

Did I miss something ??.

Its nothing to worry about, you can only see your own warning points (of which you have none) and not anybody elses. Moderators get to see everybody's warning points so they can see if the person is on their way to a ban.

I had to ask exactly the same thing this morning, thought I had been put in the naughty corner lol

Hello. I've just visited here after some time and I appear to have a red -2 under my name on the LHS. What does it mean please?

[AL.]

It means that you don't come here often enough. Perhaps.

Warning points are give by moderators as part of a warning to members that their behaviour on the forum is unacceptble.

I don't remember giving anyone any as 99.9999% of members are perfectly behaved on here.

 

As for the negative number under your avatar. I've just check your reputation history, but can only find 1+ against your post on the recent stiff gear change thread.

 

Users can give a + or a - on a particular post you make if they think it's useful or malicious.

 

I wonder if you have ever posted on a King K thread? I received a number of - hits to my reputation from a certain person.

[CHOPPA]

Don't think I have ever posted on a 'King K' thread.

I seem to have gone to -1 now, so maybe I do need to make of an effort and visit more.

 

Strange.

 

Thanks for the reply though.

[Steve J]

Well you should be back to zero now
