+MaxEntropy Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 This is what it looks like when you have a warning:Warn 10% Oh, that's just a warning indicator. I thought that my batteries were dead or that my computer wasn't getting a very good signal.
+RJFerret Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 ...And your warning level can go down. That explains why mine's -20%! (I'm such a boy scout... {wink}) Enjoy, Randy
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 My batteries are dead too. Time to plug in the laptop

+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Oooh...red font color! How'd you do that?
+Sparrowhawk Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Wierd. I just did a search on this "warn" thing after posting on the divorce thread and seeing these wierd boxes and a zero percent. Now I see this warn thread to read... I just wanna know, how do I find out what specific evil thing I did to get the warn thing to START with? There seems to be no feedback mechanism.
Keystone Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) Wierd.

I just wanna know, how do I find out what specific evil thing I did to get the warn thing to START with? There seems to be no feedback mechanism. Everybody starts off with the light-shaded boxes, and a warn percentage of zero, which is what you have. If you were to receive a warning, one of the boxes would be shaded in a darker color and the percentage would increase to ten percent. (See the example posted by Sept1c Tank and quoted by Max Entropy at the top of the page.) You would receive a message from a moderator explaining the basis for your warning. If and until that happens, there's nothing to worry about. Edited November 21, 2003 by Keystone Approver

Keystone Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 So what happens when it hits 100? Hydee leaps out of your monitor screen and hits you with a wooden mallet. Which isn't necessarily as bad a thing as it may sound.
+sept1c_tank Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 As Hydee said: 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. As Keystone Approver said: Hydee leaps out of your monitor screen... I love big, red hair!
+woof n lulu Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) Hydee leaps out of your monitor screen and hits you with a wooden mallet. Which isn't necessarily as bad a thing as it may sound. Especially if you are into that M&M umm... M&S thingy... Edited November 21, 2003 by woof & lulu
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Hydee can leap out of my monitor anytime she wants
+TEAM 360 Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Go Sax, go Sax!! Only 17 more posts till 2000!!!
+Team Og Rof A Klaw Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 So what happens when it hits 100? Hydee leaps out of your monitor screen and hits you with a wooden mallet. Which isn't necessarily as bad a thing as it may sound. Kinky, KA! Does she put on the lederhosen too?
+woodsters Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 The little blue boxes Their called "pips" . They could be any graphic they want them to be...surprised they didn't use the frogs....
+Renegade Knight Posted November 21, 2003 Author Posted November 21, 2003 The little blue boxes Their called "pips" . They could be any graphic they want them to be...surprised they didn't use the frogs.... Frogs with whips and mallets?
+CO Admin Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Little blu boxes??? I dont see any blue boxes
+woodsters Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 That's because htey removed the pips and placed the post count there....Blue boxes(pips) would of shown up under your avatar... you would get a pip for every certain amount of posts...like you may get 1 pip when you post number 100 and pip#2 when you posted #500 and so on...
+Doc-Dean Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Pips?? Mallets?? Beatings??? What has Geocaching come to???
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 But then people like me had too many pips to fit on the screen
+ChrisCindy Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 So who is going to be the sacrificial lamb and fill the warn meter first?
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Not me! No warnings on my first 2,000 posts, I have a reputation to uphold!
+ChrisCindy Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Not me! No warnings on my first 2,000 posts, I have a reputation to uphold! Well images are made to be broken.
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Don't say that too loud, CO Admin might hear you and give me a warning 'just because'
+ChrisCindy Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Don't say that too loud, CO Admin might hear you and give me a warning 'just because' Wow, have you gotten the "Flood control" page yet? You should get a volume warning if nothing else.
+CO Admin Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Don't say that too loud, CO Admin might hear you and give me a warning 'just because' Now would I do that??????????????
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Yes, and it prevented me from double posting due to a slow Internet connection already. It also stopped me from posting a witty remark until I had waited 30 seconds. I didn't have to change my remark though
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Post my witty remark? I was referring to a different thread from 2 days ago. Oh, you were talking to CO Admin, weren't you?
+ChrisCindy Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Post my witty remark? I was referring to a different thread from 2 days ago. Oh, you were talking to CO Admin, weren't you? Yup I was making a comment about getting you a warning. I still say they should let everyone see them so we can poke fun at people who are getting close.
+charis_sophia Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 How does one get a warning? Do the moderators trigger them?
+LaPaglia Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 How does one get a warning? Do the moderators trigger them? Yes behave badly, violate the forum guidelines and the moderators will trigger a warning.
Cholo Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 If and until that happens, there's nothing to worry about. That's just great....now you tell me! And just what am I supposed to do with this case of duct tape that I ran out and bought after seeing that warning thingy?!!
+ChrisCindy Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 You can hit that report icon and report a bad comment to the mods as well. Please use it often as I want to see someone shot down from the boards (other then me).
solohiker Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 There must be some mistake. I don't have any warnings. It is only a matter of time, me thinks.
+ChrisCindy Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 There must be some mistake. I don't have any warnings. It is only a matter of time, me thinks. Would you like one? I can hammer the report icon for you.
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 I'm going to report Chris&Cindy for replying too many times
+GOT GPS? Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) WOW what a job it is for some of you to find every instance of New Replies, but this new board makes that easier now, plus all that info at the bottom about the 10 best posters. This new board may skyrocket out of this world, and need a very large hard drive to contain all the posts. Edited November 22, 2003 by GOT GPS?
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 'My Assistant' comes in handy. I might have to give her a raise soon!
+captnemo Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 had to reply so as to see the warn meter!!!!!!1
+carleenp Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Awww.. my warning went away. Good I suppose, because it is now accurate and the warning was given in jest, but I kind of miss that little dark brown block! Now I'm curious whether I'll ever really earn one. Not that I plan to try (I don't)!
+Webfoot Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 I'm going to report Chris&Cindy for replying too many times Heh heh. Look who's talking. I think you should report yourself for threatening to report Chris&Cindy.
+ChrisCindy Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 I'm going to report Chris&Cindy for replying too many times Heh heh. Look who's talking. I think you should report yourself for threatening to report Chris&Cindy. Everyone should get a warning just to keep it fair.

+carleenp Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 (edited) I thought about personally attacking you by saying that I think you are an ugly puppy that should be hit by a big hammer, but I suppose that won't cut it! Edited November 23, 2003 by carleenp
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 My 'Naked Travel Bugs' thread was closed, but I didn't get a warning. Not even a comment. I don't think that's fair
solohiker Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 I don't think it is fair either. Consider this your last warning.
+Team GPSaxophone Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Coming from you that means so much to me
+hikemeister Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 OK, after a long absence, my first post on the new forum. No clue what this warning thing is about -- heck, I have not even firgured out yet whether I am registered properly on the forums -- so this is a test to find out. PS -- the Cheers Gang Party thread is going strong, with great potential for fun like before, on that other site (woodst...)
