Chonico Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Howdy!I just noticed this little link at the bottom of my picture and information on each post that's marked "Warn Status" and I don't recall it being there before. At least I don't think it was, my attention to detail is from time to time lacking.What's that for?<<< This thing, right here.Actually, I think I'm the only one that can see this. Can't spot it on any of the other member's post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Breeze Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yeah, just saw that myself. Well on mine at least. Just curious as to it's function. Well, aside from the obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chonico Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 There's an obvious function to it?Edit: Yeah, guess there is. Why would I want to warn myself? Or alter warning level? Is this like those yellow and orange code things at the airport? Heck, I'm not a risk to others, only to myself Re-Edit: Ugh, I'm tempted to press the button thing that says "Alter Warning Level" but I don't know what it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Breeze Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Same. But I'm afraid it might be like the saying that cannot be unsaid or something to that effect. Curiosity shall not kill the brony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I don't know if you can alter your own warning level...But the Moderators and Admins CAN. It's for when you blatantly break rules. Three strikes you're out kind of thing. It's a new feature on this board. You can see your own Warn Status, but not the Warn Status of others. You should also be able to see what you've been warned for if your warning level goes up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessa Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 You can't alter your own warn status. It just says you can't access that area of the site. Too bad. I was ready to give myself -10,000 warning and be IMMUNE TO EVERYTHING BWAHAHAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's mostly a tool for yourself to see your own warn status, and all of us mods and admins can see your warn status so we know what level you've reached when considering further action.

I keep checking mine toit completely freaked me out when when I saw it XD I was so scared that I did something wrong and I was put on warn statusDon't worry about it ponies.The facts:* NO ONE else can see your 'warn status' besides yourself and Staff.* You don't need to keep checking it, a little 'progress bar' will increase under the words 'Warn Status' if any notes have been added.* You would have been contacted by a member of staff in some fashion about whatever it is you goofed on if you had a warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Does the warn status go back down ever? What are the grace periods? just curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Does the warn status go back down ever? What are the grace periods? just curious.Yes, the warning level can be put back down if it goes up. As for "grace periods", any troublesome users will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and warnings/punishments decided depending on the infringement and actions following. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 We won't be using the warn status lightly and never without notifying you when your warn status is being raised. It's a tool for us to monitor problem members as well as letting you see your own warn status for reference, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittlePonyTales Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 QUESTION!just saw the first banned member today .... so i was just wandering if its possible to know why it happened... again, if possible, and if it had to do with this or something different altogether.Basically, they were a troll. They trolled the staff with questions they probably could have found the answer to if they'd taken the time to check the rules and just look around. They disobeyed rules, abused the reporting system, and did things that they were VERY SPECIFICALLY told not to do. We do try to give as many chances as we can.They ended up getting a TEMPORARY ban to show them we meant business, after many infrigements... then they created four new accounts to get around that. They were told how long the ban was for and how long they had to wait and that it was not permanent. This was also after three warnings. So, we WERE going to let them come back... but purposely trying to get around the ban was not okay. So, continued defiance of rules and staff was what this user was guilty of.So nopony here should have to worry. Everypony here is pretty good about stopping whatever it is whenever staff say to stop. Also, on the off chance anypony does get a warning (which is actually kinda hard to do, seriously), your Warn Status can totally be lowered again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
