"WARNING Level"?

[CatSoleil Bellecoeur]

Okay, this is something I've wondered about for a long time and have now decided I need to investigate. In this forum, next to names, there is a list of various statistics - one of which is "Warning Level." Not all names/lists have it; in fact, I think I've only seen it beside my name. EEEK! (Fortunately, it has remained at 0%!)

What the heck IS "Warning Level"? And how do I get rid of it? My inquiring mind wants to know!

We can only see our own warning levels, it's nothing to fret about.

Generally on forums, the "Warning Level" is in case you post something offensive/insulting/etc many times and an admin/moderator can continue to "warn" you via that option; it allows them to keep track of your forum violations. As a forum moderator, I've seen people get forum perma-banned if their warning level gets to 100%.

Certain forum software adds this by default which is what I'm guessing KittyCatS has as I don't see any mods or admins ever using the feature (or needing to).

Whew! Thanks for the explanation. Always seeing that "warning" up there was starting to really bug me; now I know I can just ignore it!

Just to see how (if!) the system works, eh?

(Ya never know when you MIGHT need to warn someone, y'know!)
