Im just inquiring about the warn levels. Ive done a search and none of the top results had anything ABOUT the warn level itself so...yeah I got this from that other gut but just read it.

As you can see my warn is raised to 30%. When does or will it ever go down?

Thanks.

Well, if you click on the pecentage, it says why you were warned. My went down in about a week. If you just do the right thing and follow the rules, it will come down.

members cannot see this, only mods and admins... and the way to get rid of it is to correct yourself in the area's you were warned in, and after a while, if the mods think you have done a good job, they will lower your warning level. but until then, there is really nothing yu can do but do the right thing instead of breaking the rules again/

I am suprised you got warned, you struck me as one of the better members. Maybe I missed a thread or something. Buffalo & myself had a disagreement one night through pm, & he could have quite easily warned me as I admit I was probably out of order, & would have accepted a warning that night. He didnt, & my respect for him has gone up by quite a huge amount.

As for your question, do you know which particular mod warned you? It may be wise to have a word & sort out any differences you have.

Search your posts, maybe you will find the areas in which you screwed up.

Moderators don't warn you unless it's necessary so I'm sure you violated TOS at some point recently. Like everyone has said, increase your reputation and good posting and continue it and your problems will slowly go away.

The only time I ever "screwed up" (if you want to call it) is in my first post when I copied and pasted some article and put quotes around it like this "words in the thing." I didn't know where the actualy quote button was so I thought that would be fine. Not according to a very po'd staff member though, he leftt me with a 20% warning level and a suspension for 3 days. Pretty stupid eh? And that was back in the summer and I STILL haven't had the warning taken away.
So here are my 3 warns. They say lack of contribution and extreme lack of content. All I was trying to do is help, and in return I get treated as a schmuck.

Braut;
All members at Trap17 are treated the same. We all have to follow the rules, yes, even the moderators.

No matter who you are, how new you are, you should have read the TOS before you registed. We take our TOS VERY seriously at Trap17 because of the service we offer and because we're striving to be a mature community.

It clearly states in the TOS to quote copied material, contribute more then a few words in a post.

Your posts are reviewed a few weeks after the warning is issued, if we see your progress acceptionally improved, we lower the warning. There are many members to check up on, and if we don't see posts from the member, what do we judge?

The warning from Buffalo was deserved.

All the content was copied, and none of it was wrapped in quote tags. That breaches 2 violations of the TOS; lack of content, and coping material without quotes.

The other 2 I couldn't get to, but from mine, copied material without quotes, and more lack of content. I'll review your posts and consider lowering your warn level.

Topic discussion seems to be over now.

If you would like to continue this discussion please PM a moderator and request to be opened.
