The Warning System FAQ - New Forums

Recommended Posts

  • ED Team

This post is meant to update the previous FAQ found here.

 

The warning system is a simple way to enforce our rules in a fair and balanced way. The information you want to share with is is very important to us, and making sure it is shared in a positive and constructive manner makes sure that we can address your concerns as soon as possible.

 

How do I check my warning log?

 

You should see your warning level in your profile page.

When should I check my log?

 

If you have a post removed, or if you see an increase in your warning points its a good idea to check your log and see if any information is available on the warning you were issued or why your post might have been deleted.

 

I had a post deleted and...

 

...there was no note? It's possible you were part of a mass deletion, sometimes an OT rant catches hold and all subsequent posts are deleted. There is really nothing to worry about in this case, but if you still want to understand why your post was removed, you can contact a moderator.

 

...there was a note with a 0% warning? In most cases, a 0% warning is just a friendly reminder that your post did cut too close to the rules, or possibly it was a mild first offense. There should be a description of why the warning was given or reference to what rule was broken. Again, if there are any questions, you can contact a moderator.

 

I received warning points, why?

 

How we distribute warnings and bans is described in full here. This system was added to try and add a fair and consistent process for dealing with the forum rules.

 

I checked that link, but my warning doesn't match what is there, why?

 

With the new forums, we have adjusted our moderation tools to a more automated system regarding how warning points and posting suspensions are administered. 

 

Oh no! I have warning points, I am so embarrassed!

 

Don't worry, only you and forum staff can see these points. The general public can't see them, and in most cases, they will be automatically removed after a certain period of time.

 

I've been suspended or banned, what should I do?

 

The last thing you should do is create an alias account. If you create an alias account to circumvent the ban, as outlined in the rules, your original account will be moved to a longer ban term and the alias account will be permabanned.

 

If you think the ban was a mistake you can open a support ticket explaining the situation. Otherwise, you just need to wait out your term and review the rules so that you can avoid the same situation in the future.

 

If you have any further questions, by all means, send me or someone on the Moderation team a PM.

 

Thanks!
