When I look at my posts there is at the bottom of my profile "0 warning points".
What does that mean?

I'm not 100% sure Jim... I think it is an unused system of telling you that you are doig something wrong. If you would like we could experiment with it. I could "warn" you. And we could see if it addsa point to you... kinda like getting demerits in school I think.

OK, looked a little deeper and it seems that...

Apparently it will let me warn a member for certian "bad behaviours" including:
  • spaming
  • bad language
  • signature violation (dont really know what that means)
  • abusive behaviour (kinda general in my mind)
  • topic bumping
  • other
It also lets me add a note to the moderators that the member would not see, but would explain to the other moderators what the problem was.

And then lets me add additional "punishment" like topic moderation and things like that...

I think we have had (fortunately) few enough of this type of problem that we ahve handled much of this one on one instead of in an automated tool...

Yeah, the system is used a lot on other internet forums. The warning points are sometimes called infraction points. As a mod you can typically apply temporary or permanent infraction points. If you get enough points you can be banned, temp-banned or perma-banned. Seems like there aren't too many trouble makers around here though. O:)

Yes, it does to me (as a moderator) I see everyones "warning points" under their name... of course as we are not using the system everyone seems to ahve a zero.

I hate to be a zero.

You could certainly give me a couple of points for what I wrote on the "picture ID" topic, even though I decided to not actually post it.

Oh I'm not looking for handouts, I'm willing to work the old-fashioned way for what I earn.

I will try to refrain. Guess that earned me a point.
