Due to the trolling issues i have been forced to implement a "Warning" system. Basically, Mods and I have the right to "warn" members and provide a reason for the warning. Warned users will be able to see the reasons why they have been warned. Hopefully this will make it easier for us to document abuses and provide you with a fair way to judge behavior on a case by case basis.

sorry to get all big brother on everyone. I just want to get all the preventative tools in place

Thanks!

Well, the logic is that once its brought to your attention that your behaviour isn't welcome, you will be more conscious and refrain from such behaviour. If you've been warned a certain number of times, you will be suspended. After you've been suspended a few times you will be banned from the forum.

warning also helps us to see your user history- whether or not past behaviour warrants suspension. It gives me a fair way to "pass judgement" (cue the gavel!). It helps us put checks and balances in place so that if you feel unfairly treated, there is a documentation of that.

Keep in mind that Warnings CAN be removed by us! so if you change your ways, you can start with a clean slate only mods and i have the ability to warn. if someone is trolling, please continue to use the "report to moderator" function.

Thank you!

Great thing! Warning usually help, but not always. Hopefully it will.

No need to apologise Jeremy, it's in the best interest of the forum and it's members at the end of the day. Good work.

Did you just throw in a 1984 reference? AWESOME!

I still haven't seen said trolling, but whatever. This forum is tame compared to...others I've been to.

[Tim the Slipperman]

Good idea. Several forums I've been on often have a warning system in place to combat trolling & fighting, so it's nice to have one here on this forum just in case any trolls/hecklers/haters/spammers come in and start trouble...

I'm usually well behaved (although on a couple other forums there have been people who give me flak for having an unpopular opinion), and all the regulars here are pretty friendly and respectable here, so you shouldn't have to worry about me
