There should be a designated thread similar to a drunk-driving lane, where we can vent all of our off-color jokes, swear words, sex stories, etc.

I realized long ago there are different rules for different posters. For example, a mod can totally hijack a thread and you better not point it out to them.I have no doubt there was something found to be offensive that led to the suspensions. I just have no idea what specifically they were. Hopefully I don't accidentally use the same trigger word or express the same opinion that led to those suspensions. It would seem to be common sense to tell a person what they did wrong when dishing out punishment. You know, just in case you want the punishment to have any effect and the person being suspended might have an honest desire not to post something offensive again.clearly your warnings were for no reason someone just doesn't like youAgain,
I got a 6 month ban for what i thought was saying the exact same thing someone had said 3 posts above me. That other person wasnt banned...
I hope I didn't say too much...

I too have had a ban for similar reasons. It's very confusing. I'd like to know what my post count needs to be to become immune to bannings.I realized long ago there are different rules for different posters.

I wish we could have an AMA with the mods to figure out how the moderation works around here.

First I get my warning points and now I'm on your ###. You know, I'll bet more people see that than the warning points.

Selective amnesia? Fog? Domestic Violence?Arizona Ron said:Yeah I know, too much Jodi Arias!
have we received any clear definition of what merits a warning point?
If there is a warning point system that extends back, how far?
What is the purpose of tracking warning points if users cannot see the points and thus are not warned?
If the system allows tracking not only of points, but also issuing warnings, what purpose is there to give us the points but document nothing in the warnings portion?
How many points can be issued on one post?
When a timeout comes do past warning points contribute to the length of the timeout?
Do warning points ever expire?
there's no information to go off of, just a score
Uh..looks like you want to put your toe in the water before you jump in?

Under the old system . . .The easiest way for a mod/admin to suspend somebody is to click on their warning points link. On the resulting page, we can choose whether to suspend the poster and for how long, but the description of the violation is a required field. By filling out the description, a warning point is automatically added, and the description is logged so that all the other mods/admins could see the list of warnings/suspensions for that poster. A typical entry might read, "Called LHUCKS a '######' and told him to '#### his own '####.' Two weeks."Under the new system, as of yesterday . . .I haven't given any warnings or suspensions yet, but it looks like the easiest way to to do it is still to click on your warning points. When I do that, I can no longer see a list of your previous infractions. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, or maybe Keith hasn't added that yet, or maybe they were all erased or something. I don't know. In any case, from there, I can issue you a warning. When I do so, I can enter two description logs — one that will be visible to you, and one that will be visible only to other mods and admins. So under the new system, when you are given a warning point, starting now you will be able to see why.It looks like the other fields, for entering punishments, are not yet operational. So if I wanted to suspend you, I'd have to do it the old-fashioned, harder way (by logging in to a separate admin site) instead of just doing it through the warning process.
Theoretically up to ten, I guess, but I don't think anybody's ever gotten more than one point per post. Not all points are equal, though. The severity of the infraction is described in the warning log, and it's the eggregiousness of the infractions rather than their raw number that matters.
Sure. Not the points so much as the descriptive logs.
There's no automatic sunset provision, but they can be manually repealed. Or at least they could under the old system. I'm not sure how to do it under the new system.To answer some previous questions, the maximum number of warning points anybody can have is ten. Once you hit ten, your account is automatically suspended until you have fewer than ten. So that's typically when warning points have been repealed — to get a poster unsuspended after his suspension putting him at ten had been served.Does anyone want to volunteer to have me warn them right now so I can see more about how the new system works? I'm not sure I'd be able to repeal the warning point. But I'd comment in the log that it was just a test warning.

Sweet. That was helpful.
Under the new system, I can choose how many warning points to issue. I issued dutch one point.
Also, I can choose to have the points expire whenever I want them to. The point I issued dutch will expire in one day.
Upon entering the warning point, the punishment fields opened up, so that's still the easiest way to suspend somebody.
And now that dutch has a new warning, there's an extra button next to his warning points — a red exclamation point icon that I presume only mods/admins can see. When I click on that, I can see both the log I left for dutch and the log that only mods/admins can see. When dutch clicks on his own warning points, I assume that he'll see only the first log.

Warning Details
Warning issued by Maurile Tremblay for Other in Warning Points.
Given 1 points - expire on Apr 03 2013 11:16 PM.
Excellent. dutch volunteered to be warned to test out the new system following the board upgrade, and it was actually pretty helpful.

That sounds like that could cause a ton of problems.

eh, I wrote it half in jest but I do like hte thought of the mod(s) who ban you having to defend their decision.
I like it. Since no one knows at this point what the points were for in the first place why not start from scratch?

Seems to be a lot of unnecessary consternation over this.

Sorry, I'll get back to posting on more important topics on here, like figuring out where the hell Swedish Fish are sold.
eh, I'm bored, it's late, my wife is snoring like a bear, what else am I supposed to do?
Mr. Retukes
Footballguy
Agreed. Also, I think those with a lot of Warning Points should be able to battle a lion in an effort to remove them.

I was actually talking about a mods name being on there, not a "grievance committe". I could picture Joe now sitting down in a big conference every morning with all of the other staff members, who all work in a big building together, hashing out who is getting banned and the reason behind it. :slamsjoegavel:
