Charlie Spencer Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 How do I accumulate warning points? I notice I'm tied with the other members I checked, and I want to build my 'Bad Boy' reputation. Seriously, is this just a site feature we don't use? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators can assign warning points if you are a bad boy! I'm pretty sure they aren't visible to other users. If you like I can give you some so you can see how it works (they can be removed later). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a network admin, I'm mostly just wondering how they work. Am I temporarily suspended if I get a certain number, and maybe barred for life if I get too many?

They can be set as permanent or to expire after a time specified by the moderator, or as I said the moderators can remove them. Other consequences are separate - post moderation, banned from posting, and blocked from the site - and are decided on a case-by-case basis. I did check and your warning points are not displayed to other users; only you and the mods/admins can see them. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I would like to put out a reminder for everyone, that from time to time there will be a comment that may seem rude, or unnecessary, and that is part of why me and @Aveschapines are here. Not just to take care of spammers, but when needed, unruly members too. so the reason why I am making this post, is because when such objectionable posts come up, sometimes members feel they need to call it out, which in not Y'all's job. Don't call someone out, attacking their post. The correct thing to do is to alert me and @Aveschapines, any correction that may be need, we will do, and it will probably be taken better from us as well. As how to alert us, there is two ways to do that, there the "Report" option, which can be found in the right hand corner above someone's post, or you can send us a private message, which can be found by clicking the letter symbol and then "Compose New". 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Another site question. I long ago filled out the 'About Me' portion of my profile. I recently noticed I can't find a way to access that portion of other members' profiles. Is there a button I'm missing to see other people's 'About Me', or is filling out an exercise in self-fulfillment? As always, thanks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid you are not the only person who is having that problem. We just recently have someone contact us about the exact same thing. Thought it was just a problem on their end though. Before I was made mod, the about me profiles where still public, but about that time we had an update, and I would guess it changed then. I don't know what the point of still letting people fill them out is though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the same update that lifted the limit on number of 'Likes' in a day, and made it possible to click a discussion title and go to the first post you hadn't read (instead of having to click the dot / star). Life is full of trade-offs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulK Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Just flagging the conversation happening in Liam's Weekly Quiz: he deleted his private messages, so now if we respond to a message thread on our end it both neither arrives nor gives a warning that it won't be seen. It seems odd that a message won't be delivered if the thread has been deleted by one participant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems odd that a message won't be delivered if the thread has been deleted by one participant. Does it still show Liam as a participant in the conversation after he deletes the thread? The private messages basically work like forum threads but only for a liminted number of people. It makes sense to me that if one person deletes the thread they won't get messages anymore. If you'd like to experiment with me send me a message, I'll answer, then you can delete it from your inbox and I'll see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulK Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Aha! That explains it. That's exactly right, it shows that Liam has left the conversation. Didn't occur to me it would be like a forum thread, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
