Why am I now: Warn: (0%) ?

erm.. hi. does the warning fall in time or can it never go down again? It doesn't fall automatically, but if your further behaviour shows that you've got the point, your warning level will be lowered by some mod. I, for example, regularly check the warning logs (if warning level is > 0%) of users when reading their posts. If last entry is from > 1 month ago, I browse recent posts. If they show that the user has got the point, I decrease warning level.to have to sign up for a new account? Having more than 1 account isn't allowed, but if you're willing to read, understand + follow the rules, you don't have to worry about this anyway.i assume you can do that right, and warning seems a bit pointless if the user has got the point (like when they didn't know they were doing anything wrong before getting the warning..) As I said above, if the user has got the point this will be visible by his further behaviour here - and the warning will be removed. We don't have things here like a n00b forum where ppl have to post until they get full member status, a time delay between sign-up and ability to post or similar. On the other hand it's expected from (new) users to read and understand the forum rules before posting, a 1st warning can be regarded as a very effective way to point a user's attention to this.Are you expected to msg the mod who gave you the warning? No, but if you still don't understand why you have been warned (after (re-)reading the rules and the warning log) you can do thisor is that likely to just give you another warning Depends on the attitude you show when doing it.
