Warning Points

[Snowmad79]

How does the new warning points system work on Netweather ? I'm recently back to glance the model output thread and noticed it when I posted but cannot find any info when searching the forums.

I know on other sites that so many equals a ban. So please enlighten me guys

I to have been asking the question but still don't have an answer .

[Paul]

That's strange Foz, as I answered your previous questions about them and you even pm'd me to thank me for doing so. What else would you like to know?

There were some posts in the help/support topic about the points - in summary they are only visible to you and the team, so no-one else except team members has access to the points or notes within them.

There are no fixed numbers in terms of being banned etc, they're used solely as a method of letting people know there's been an issue which may or may not involve a restriction on that person's account depending on what the circumstances are..

I still have a warning point from 5 years ago, and with no explanation as to what it's for or why it's stuck for so long.

What's more I'd like it removed!

[Paul]

You'd have had a pm at the time CH, the integrated notes and warn system has only just come online as part of an update to the forum.

[Fozfoster]

Done

Thank you master! haha. 5 years !!

[Backtrack]

Why do I have two from 2008 haha! 4 years without one, I'm a good member.

I can't see this system on my profile? I take it I haven't had any then?

I haven't got any but I can see it. Mine just says Zero.

Hosts, mods and admins don't have warnings, I guess the forum software designers work on the principle that if you have to be warned you wouldn't be on the team. but for fun I am now going to try and warn Paul to see what happens

I have one from Dec 2008, I thought this warning points thing only came in about a month ago? or it may mean a negative -1 rep point

[Paul]

It was part of an old system which we used to make notes, for instance your one just notes that you had a post moved from the model thread elsewhere. The way the software works is that it merged that into the new warn system.

I've now cleared it.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Thanks Paul, least I know what it was for, off topic like post

[Paul]

It wasn't a warning as such though as we'd not warn for that & would let you know what the warning was for if we did send one.

[MPfreeUK]

Strange I've had one appear too, im not aware of doing anything wrong lol.... mebbe I did but in profile shows "There are no warnings to display."

Just makes me feel naughty, just like to know if done something wrong so I wont do again.

Ta!

[Paul]

I think it's an error as there are no warnings on your account - I'll get it cleared

[MPfreeUK]

Thanks Paul, i'll have to find another way to feel naughty now lol

[Spurry]

Thanks

Hi Ian, back then the warning system wasn't quite the same as it is now and was used as a sort of notes system on which Brian noted your conversation etc. All that was converted to the warn system when the forum upgraded.

I'll remove the point shortly for you

[Jan_Bromley]

Hello Paul,

I have 0 warnings coming up in my avatar.

Could it be removed please?

Thanks

Jan

Hi Paul, I also have a warning point from Brian (GMG) in January 2009, how is he by the way? Any chance it could be removed?

[Paul]

Will do, I must admit I've not heard from him for a while, but hopefully all is ok with him
