30 warning points

Boby · 08-21-2004, 06:17 PM

Hello!

I saw in this post, that 30 warning points within a certain period of time, lead to your ban from this site.
My question is if users can check how much points they have, just to know if they breaked the rules, and/or how often. I'm not thinking in breaking them 29 times just for fun and then wait till the period of time is over. It should be an info for users that really use this board for getting help and helping others, not for those "bad" guys!

Thank you!
With regards, Boby.

This is information that shouldn't have been shared but only to the "internal" people here. I know its hard to ignore but I'm going to ask everyone to just ignore what has been said as if nothing has happened and our warning system wasn't poorly explained in the public forums.

Thanks,

Just to set the record straight. There is a system that is setup to help the mods ensure that the same member does not consistently break the rules. The internal working of the system are not public knowledge for reasons that should be fairly clear. The system is almost never used as LQ members tend to be very well behaved. We do get a member every once and a while that goes on a mass spamming spree or does something that has the potential to damage the forums, in which case the system comes in quite handy.

maybe, you should break the rules, about not removing (only locking threads) for this one jeremy.
I have a very selective mind, so don't very
