I understand the beneficial use of such a system, but I am afraid that something that publicly displays information like this would just end up embarrassing people. I think we would see a lot of people heckling members on their profile because they only have 'one warning left'.

Yeah, it would be a good idea, but I don't think it should be publicly displayed.

I've seen it being used on other forums.

It is a pretty cool idea but what if you were on your 2nd warning and then you changed your attidude completely would you lose the warnings so basically what I am saying is can you lose the warnings?Anyway it is a great idea.I would like to see it happen.

Yeah, I think this would be a good idea if only the mods/admins and the user could see their own warn level.

Also, it should take a long time before the warn level is dropped like not just 2 weeks.

After a month of no warns an account would revert back to normal.

Yes it is a good idea! How hard would it be to implement this into the profile pages though?

So you can do wrong untill you are "almost" in trouble?

The mods already warn users when they do something wrong. Sure, different mods have different amounts of pataince for broken rules but not every rule broken is punishable by the same means.

If someone was to do one thing, like swearing and arguing with another member, then I myself beleive they may deserve a single warning. If someone else does something more drastic, lets say they troll the community posting up obscured pics, then I would instantly ban them. Now what I would do does not matter but realize that certain rules deserve different punishments and amounts of warnings.

If you allow each user a check for each thing they did wrong (even if a mod could give them more than one mark at a time) they will stop doing what they do wrong and eventually they will lose their warns. That only means that they are free to break the rules all over again untill they get right to the point of getting close to being banned. Then they stop. The process would start over.

A lot of people have been getting banned lately because they feel that just because they have a lot of AP and are popular means that they will be more safe from being banned. What if someone who was ranked high broke a rule? The members have their backs. The mods will not get rid of them because they are popular. It is this mentallity that got them banned! It is the mentallity that being high ranked protected them from being banned so easily.

Good idea , however , also there must be proof on what the user did wrong so they should show that along with each warn

I like this idea, but as people are saying, it would be good to not open your own "Warning boxes" to the public.
This wouldn't take much coding. In fact, not much more coding than your profile...

No, when you get your first warn, you get a temporary ban, second warn = longer temp ban, third warn= perma-ban.
