During a cast check, you may get a ping. Stop freaking out or being defensive. A ping is good. Under certain interpretations of the rules, if you receive a ping, you should receive a warning. You don't because it isn't fair. A ping doesn't do jack to you. It's a reminder. Maybe you hate being reminded, but that's all it is. The fact that I receive more replies and back speech regarding character pings than I do actual warnings is telling.

A ping means you failed some portion of the cast check, but you don't warrant a warning. Maybe you haven't posted in a while. Maybe your threads have died. Whatever it is- Pings are friendly reminders. Welcome them!
