Ok i see this thing next to my posts it has warn level % - at 0% what does that mean is that a member rating panel or what can someone plesae explain it sounds sorta bad.

well i remember this from when I used to moderate.
Basically it allows moderators and administrators to warn you in case you are misbehaving. Each time you are warned one open dot fills up red and the number in front of the percentage goes up (duh)

If the warningmeter fills up you get punished.

I'm not sure if this is the case here, but warningmeters can be lowered (in case you were warned at one point) over time, or if you show that you are sincerely sorry.

well LOL its at 0% so i havent done anything wrong yet and hope not to LOL

I wondering does it show up for every user i cant see anyone esle with it - or can only i see it for myself - the same as all other membres - i just havent noticed it before.

it`s new on the forum..

and i`m still on 0% :blink:

Oh. I thought I was the only one who got it cause I found out about it after reading this strange sentance by titan.

Few more what?
Posts?
Spamming posts?
Did you mean rank?

So what kind of punshments are we talking about here?

I thought I was also the only one to get this when I noticed.

I also see that I'm now an Abandonia Homie.

Is that a standard title when you reach 1500 posts?

LOL...maybe a personal name :whistle:

It's a default title. ;)

Oh wait I understand what Titan meant now. Cause when he said it I was on about 1490 posts. Now I'm on 1500 I have the new rank. I feel special that I was the first to reach it.

everybody has this warningbar but everybody only sees his or her own warningbar.
Only moderators or administrators see everyone's warningbar

Correct, and Congratulation!

YAY :Brain: :Brain: :Brain:

Great..

You beat me with this title :ok:

Yeah thats the problem with a unique title. By the way whats an Annelid?

an annelid is a family of insects to which the worm belongs to

atleast I think

I never understood my own title :whistle:

@Iron: now i`m really gone :sneaky:

It's the name for a generic class of worms, but they're not insects -- insects have 6 legs. At least before primary school kids get to em. ;)

Sneaky Worm, sneaky. LOL

Isn't it at least 6 legs?

:ot:

fine well next time YOU should be explaining changes you people made to the system, eh.

Yeah tell him Stroggy. I feel a revolution comming on. :whistle:

You always feel a revolution coming up :D

anyway, I think this thread has outlived its usefulness so if an admin would see it fit to inform everybody about the new system using a stickie somewhere, much obliged.

I was reffering to the talk about worms, which was off topic.


Basically the system works like this:
When you spam, your warning level will increase.
At one point you will recieve a PM, and if the spam continues you will recieve penalties. :ok:

Including prevention from posting a set time, or even all out suspention for a set time..

Hmmmmmm sounds harsh.

sounds hard but fair :angel:

The punishments are as follows - 4 warnings result in 24 hour posting restriction, 5 in a 24 hour suspension. You get warning level increased for spamming, bumping old threads with irrelevant answers and so on.... generally not obeying some general forum rules

so what do i do to not be called a meatball??

just wondering?

You will loose your "rank" once your warning level decreases below 2 :)
I've given you directions and pointers on how you'll achieve that ;)

OK - so who get's to say what is and what isn't spam???

what do you think of the admins??? :blink:

Yes that's an admin duty.
Don't worry about it too much.
It's just for handling spam and other offenses in a for-us easier manner.

Don't expect lot's of bans or warnings. It's just a maintanance improvement for us.

I hope you're right Data, 'cos I already heard some strange things I don't like about this new system...

I am conserned!
Hope it all works out fine!

But for this..

we just got too many admins...there will never be one line of SPAM and not SPAM :not_ok:

Well, people are always different, so "one line" isn't that easy to keep. But don't worry, we'll coordinate. ;)

with 8 admins???

Counting..

1: Kosta
2: Tom
3: Titan
4: Maikel
5: Freddy
6: Picard
7: Wendy
8: Data

Of course. We're only 8... :D
Btw., Wendy isn't an admin, she's a mod. Braindead is an admin, though. ;)

why wasn't this announced by the admins? Its caused 2 threads and... well... me being confused?

and can i have the punching spammer back after i lose the rank again?

Not sure what you mean by this but discuss it in the open forum topic or PM me with you question.

This topic is locked as yo ucan use the one in the open forum that has more information in it.
