Question regarding Warn Status

[namuh1]

The question is: 'what is it'. I have it appearing on my posts with a white line beneath it. I've never been warned about anything or told I was out of line ever, but I have it and I don't see it on anyone else's posts? I've sent messages to two of the Moderator/Admins: sneaksiedave and greebo neither of whom see interested in responding... since they haven't. I've searched the help topics and the forum topics and found nothing about it. If I've done something wrong, I'll correct it, but I can't see what it might have been as I've only made a few posts ... all of which were either an attempt to get the game running or a question about a mission. I've never offered an opinion on a mission or the game except to give the highest kudos.... so WHAT IS WRONG? I'd appreciate a relevant answer if someone could please help me out.

I have that too.

 

When you click it, you should see a blank "log page".

 

It appears to be a forum debug tool as far as I can tell.

 

I wouldn't worry about it unless you have messages in that log page...

Well you are the first I've run into who has it too. I have no messages in it and any attempt to 'change the warning level' is met with 'you don't have authorization'. It wouldn't bother me except that I never see it on anyone else's posts and it makes me feel like I'm marked for some reason that I'm unaware of. It really sucks when you think you may have offended someone and you have no idea when, how or why and worse there's no way to rectify it. The people here put huge amounts of their time and energy into this mod and it's missions and the last thing I want is to, inadvertently, be a critic or a pain to anyone. I even feel weird posting this, but I'm tired of having it hanging over my head for no apparent reason.

Everyone has one, but I guess you only see your own (admins see everyone's). If you receive a warning the bar starts filling up with colour (blue, I believe). You have to be a pretty big ass to get a warning around here.

[namuh1]

Lol, as far as I know I'm not even a very small ass... but can you tell me why it appears below my avatar and no one else's? At lease I've never seen it on anyone's and, while I've not posted much, I read quite a lot of diverse posts. BTW thanks for the responses both of you.

[namuh1]

Oh sorry, I didn't understand your reply fully. I see now that I probably see mine because it's my post and others see theirs for the same reason but we don't see each others. That makes sense... issue resolved. Thank you again.

It kinda reminds me of the old AOL instant messenger and how people would get into "warning fights" to get their "friends" suspended for a few hours. You had this warning percentage and if it got to 100, you were unable to login for twelve hours or so.

 

... but anyone could warn you for any reason they wanted. It didn't have to be an admin or anything. I never messed with those features, but I remember seeing friends at like 85%, asking them why, and they told me... lol

I never had much use for AOL, but what you describe about the use/misuse of the warning system is likely one of the reasons.

Dammit, now I wanna have a "warning fight" with lost_soul

[namuh1]

Sheesh!
