The Meter Of Shame

What did you get your warning for?

 

Here is a thread where you can repent your sins and maybe, just maybe your warning meter will go down.

 

I got a warning for double posting & and then not talking nice about an Admin.

 

I promise to be good. I will even write it out 50 times.

 

I will not double post or say not nice things about an Admin. again.

I would be interested in hearing of how others have wiped out their warnings...

I sphereheaded getting the California Geocoin designed and produced. This Geocoins is just going to be another avenue for Geocaching.com to get recognized (though that is not why I did it). I just wanted to celebrate Geocaching in California. You would think that is a good deed (but that's where I got my warnings for - posting the Geocoin was available for sale (at cost). Which by the way it still is.

Still working on getting warned the first time apparently. :P Uh, will I get warned for getting off topic? ;) Just messing around. I would think getting your warning level down is like getting out of trouble with your sig. other. Candy, flowers, or new tools. Somthing like that maybe? :D

personally I think the warn meter is kind of childish as bobkat alludes to. Just curious too but is having a 20% warn level any different from say an 80%?

Its only different if you think is it. If your posting things you know will get you a warning on purpose, then you likely don't care about your percentage. If you got slapped for something that in hindsight you shouldn't have done, then the percentage matters very much, and you'll do better to 'be good' in the furture.

 

To say on topic, I'm personally still I a goose egg (O%)

I think a warn% leaderboard would be cool.  But maybe that's just because I know I may be number 2 on it.  ;-)

Ok, but make sure you pick a good nick for the board. How about "MOD slam:Part 2", what do you think? ;)

 

edit: stupid color tags :D

No, that didn't sound right... ahem. ;)

 

You can get banned at 10% or 30% so I'm not sure the warn meter has to do with being banned.  If they really wanted to be consistant they should jump you to 100% as they ban you.

 

Being nice to newbies doesn't seem to pull off points either since I've always answered newbie questions where I could.

Yes you can get banned at 10%. You can get banned at 0% for that matter. If you come into the forums and start cussing, etc., then you will be banned immediately. There is nothing inconsistant about that at all. If you are warned repeatedly then you can be banned at any warning level depending on the severity of the infractions. They are there for a history so other moderators will know what has gone on in the past and so they can make a judgement about the next step in the warning process (no moderation of post but a warning, moderation of post for a couple of days, or banning for a specific time).

 

Doc-Dean is exactly right with his post regarding wiping out his 10% and hits the nail on the head.

I got a warning on the first day of the new forums.

There was no good or bad reason for it.

I simply inquired about the meter.

I think two or three mods raced to give me the 10%,

but mtn-man won the race.

I think his comment/explanation was:

"Wouldn't you rather get it from a friend?"

 

Yes, I would rather get it from a friend.

 

I begged for him to leave it for posterity.

But one day it just showed up missing.

No explanation.

 

I guess friends just come and go. :D;)

ROFLMAO!!! You just have to love the way the moderators try to help us. :D

 

I've never gotten a warning. Although I deserved one last week, but mtn-man must have been in the holiday spirit. CO and KA where no where to be found at the time, so I got lucky. Thanks mtn-man for patiently explaining my wrongdoing. :)

Didn't you explain that you are the leader of the evil horde and its your job!?!

You call that influence?

 

LOL! Not particularly! I was just so shocked by the pink bunny, it doesn't fit my world view of RN! Not that I really know what my world view of him is. And now I suppose that view is evolving. Ack, I sound totally off the wall here.....! ;)

For me, personally, the presence of the warning bars has made it less likely that I will be polite to other posters. Being treated as a child always brings out my childish side. I suspect it does for many others, too.

Yep. But its ok, I think mines broke anyhow. Doc Deans avatar, Santa poo'ing down the chimney, TWICE, what else did I forget ?

 

So far, the warn meter is as pale as a vampires derriere.

 

Is using french ( especially mis-spelled ) still a deportation offense ?

I didn't get an increase in my warning meter, but I did get a post deleted because it said I'M RADMAN and didn't fit with the post. I was warned not to do it again and not to be taken personally. But since I am an egomaniac who takes any action against me personally, I've decided to stay away from the forums for a while. I am now taking my weird antics elsewhere where idiots like me are more appreciated. I walked past the door and it hit me as I was going out, thus furthering my rage!

 

Bye Guys!

I said what I thought it looked like...using strict medical terms and a reference to a duck-billed looking medical device and got it deleted, too.

I haven't been warned so I'm still at 0%. I don't tend to be very controversial here so I suspect that it will stay there unless the Admins. start warning about boring or lame posts.

 

Here's a question: Since several people have had thier warnings reduced as the result of meritorious deeds is it possible for me (or others at 0%) to get in on the reductions and have the warning meter register in the negative?

 

That way we could "bank" some of the warnings. Why should the miscreants get rewarded for thier good deeds with a reduction in thier warnings while the rest of us goody two shoes get nothing?
