Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	For me, my warnings mean I'm less likely to brake the rules again as long as they're there. I'm sure if they were there for less time I would have broken many more rules by now. They definately act as a good deterent for me.

That's what I mean.

None of you have anything to complain about, I've never seen a site that has a system like this before, just be patient and enjoy.

FireFox Favourite Manga Fruits Basket	We aren't obligated to even allow members to appeal warnings, before they where just removed if a member of staff felt like it and still then only if it's older than a month, this rule is the one staff have followed for a long time with regards to warnings. I don't see what the problem is though, what is a month is also an argument against not changing lower. But really, how do we know if you aren't going to go back and commit the same offence after 2 weeks? The warnings act as a way to inform you that you broke a rule and an indicator to the mods that you did, so we're looking for an improvement in the user, is 2 weeks enough to see that? Doubtful. Quote: why does it matter though? Unless you have so many warnings it results in a ban. It's not like you lose any privileges from having a warning. This, privileges are usually only lost for more serious/repeat offences, action for minor offenses might take place at around 50%. Warn appeals was added so you could request it to be looked into after a month had past, I can remove the section as quickly as it was added and we'll go back to the old method of, if a moderator can be bothed, if you would prefer.

When the warn level is decreased, the log of the warnings still remain, no member gets a clean slate, there are staff members with warnings from when they where members, their level is 0% but the logs of rule violations are still there, just as a history.

Also. this is not my forum im not in charge and to be honest i have absolulty no say in the choice making here. im just a member trying to state a point. i find the way problems are solved here very civilized. (I really enjoy the Board of admins here) This was just me purely letting you guys know my point of view. Whether it matters or not Quote: just saiyan very nice
