+Renegade Knight Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 I've got Warn 5 blocks. Even more than my "Post blocks" But my warn percent is zero. Maybe that ones a countdown?
+Touchstone Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 I've got the same thing. Hey wait, there's smoke coming out of my computer....AARgh...

+CO Admin Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 It's been mentioned in the Geocaching.com Discussion Forum Is that the first markwell??
+carleenp Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Same here. I bet the blocks change color or something as you get warned. So I wonder what we have to do to get warned? What happens if it reaches 100%. Verrry curious!

+sept1c_tank Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Well, I don't know about warnings, but I believe I own the distinction for having the first locked thread in these spiffy new forums!
+Bloencustoms Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Wow, after following that link, i just realised there is potential for a lot of shouting in here.
umc Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Wow, after following that link, i just realised there is potential for a lot of shouting in here. Yep, hence the 'warn' item.
+woof n lulu Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Well, I don't know about warnings, but I believe I own the distinction for having the first locked thread in these spiffy new forums! And a BIG Cheers beer for you Sept1c Tank !
+DoodleCat & MisterKrrk Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Wow. I can't believe how very offensive I am. I have 5 warn blocks and only 33 posts. I wonder if those warn blocks age off or if I'm marked forever? The link on my profile for viewing my posts is broken so I can't look back and review my bad behavior. I guess I just have to accept it on faith. Let me just say "Bye Ya'll" now before I get totally banned. See you in the funny papers! -Doodlecat.

They turn a dark color when checked and if you check your % it should say 0 because you haven't been warned.
+sept1c_tank Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 your 'warn blocks' are blank. They turn a dark color when checked and if you check your % it should say 0 because you haven't been warned. UMC, those little warning boxes are ominous in their own little way. Maybe they were prominently placed to act as a little reminder to think before you speak. Anyway, could you please explain just how that works? Is there one box per warning? And then what happens if they all get used?
+hydee Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 You can click on the percentage to see why you were warned. Each warning is 10%. There is not "automatic" consequence for getting to 100%, each case will be looked at individually. And your warning level can go down.
umc Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 It can be used in several ways. Its a way for tracking who has been warned and such and the reason for the warning. As you see there is a plus and minus sign, the warning level can be increased and decreased letting you and us know where you stand. This is also where you can be set to a moderated status for a period of time so that your posts go to a queue first before being submitted for everyone to view. It also allows us to put notes on those accounts so that in the future a different moderator can view the offense and such. So, in a sense its the same as me sending you a pm or email warning you of certain behavior. This is a pretty robust tool and we are still working out the details of how to best use it but those are some of the options.
umc Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 sept1c_tank, Want to see first hand how it works, huh, huh, do ya wanna?
+sept1c_tank Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 sure. go for it! light my box! (I'm such an angel anyway, I'm sure I can earn some brownie points later!)

+briansnat Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Do we all get to start out at zero, despite our previous record?

+mtn-man Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 sure. go for it! light my box! (I'm such an angel anyway, I'm sure I can earn some brownie points later!) Just for fun, I beat him to it. I'll zip that off once you have see what it looks like. Thanks for being a kind... victim.

+carleenp Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 (edited) Oh geeze, I feel left out now, I want to be cool and have a warning too! Well.... wait, I'm a good girl and having a warning could harm my reputation. Ack! now I have a complex because I both want a warning and don't want one. Maybe I should earn one, yeah that's the ticket! Well.... no, because then I would have intentionally been bad for the wrong reasons. If I earn one I have to intentionally (or maybe not?) be bad for the wrong reasons (I think). I want to be good. But how can I be cool without at least one warning? Ack! The complex just got worse! Oh forget it.... I'll just go sleep now instead. That always solves everything. Edited November 20, 2003 by carleenp
Keystone Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I've just issued a warning to CarleenP for "expressing unnecessary angst."
+sept1c_tank Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Carleen, join the club...now you're cool like me! Maybe we could start a club!?!
+ChrisCindy Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Warnings...we don't need no stinking warnings. Well ok so maybe we do.
Cholo Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 your 'warn blocks' are blank. They turn a dark color when checked and if you check your % it should say 0 because you haven't been warned. This looks like a good place to start. If we're good, do we get little brown rings instead of the dark squares? Or are those reserved for the mods? It's probably best not to anal-eyes this too much, but rather worry about covering my a**.
Cholo Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 , but rather worry about covering my a**. That answers that, the censor is still here.
+Doc-Dean Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Where are the warnings now?? I no longer see the boxes on everyone's posts...
Keystone Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 The little blue boxes, now gone, provided a graphic representation of your volume of posts. The more posts, the more blue boxes. Since everyone's number of posts is shown below their name, title and avatar, the redundant blue boxes were eliminated shortly after the new forums launched. The warning boxes are brown. You can only see your own warning level. They are still here.

Then when they get close to the end we could do the "poking a bear with a stick thing" to push them over the top. It would add some excitement to it all. Edited November 20, 2003 by Chris&Cindy
+carleenp Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I've just issued a warning to CarleenP for "expressing unnecessary angst." Whoo hoo, I got a warning! I'm happy (I think)! Of course the further angst over it will kick in an hour or so from now.

+Renegade Knight Posted November 20, 2003 Author Posted November 20, 2003 Dang, still no warnings. Maybe I should start a naked monkey in a cave thread and invite Neihenchaser (can't ever recall the name right) to the discussion.
