So, i just got my first 8 warning points today. This made me wonder, exactly how does the warning point system work? How many points are required to put a restriction on an account? And exactly what would warrant gaining points?
Warning Points
- Thread starter Un-done screw
- Start date
I have 4, and just breaking forum rules in general, unneeded threads, reviving dead topics for shits and giggles, read this
Thank you, when i got the warning points i felt like an ass because, while the email said it was for a lack of capitalization and such, when i look on my account the points are for spamming.
And i despise spammers. I don't want to be labeled as one.
I mean mine was because i made a thread for a stupid question because it was easily answered if i would stop skimming >_>, but the capitalization thing is kinda insult to injury, felt bad that i got warning points, felt confused at the 'Capitalization' thing.
Don't sweat it, people can't see your points, and it seems that spam designation is a mechanical drawback of not having all possible offences listed in the system. Got mine today for mentioning the unmentionable in passing, or at least I think that's what they were about, since there was no reference to the post in question and a pretty vague reason. At least I'm in a decent company.
as Yahtzee says "It might seem normal and or sane to you but there's the off chance that your mad"
Personally, I enjoy how the warned duo continue to do what they are warned about. Incidentally, they've both received enough warning points to take a brisk vacation. 
"Spamming" comes up simply because it's the first option in a drop down and we tend to forget to swap it out. You should be looking at the note, anyway.

Anyone ever, ever been unbanned?
The new forums are, of course, brand new, as is the warning system we're now using. So no, not that I know of. Only one or two people have actually managed to get themselves banned yet anyway.
That said, warning points do not expire. Once you hit 100, you're done. I don't really see us undoing a pointsban, even if the final offense was relatively minor. If you receive multiple warnings, shape up or ship out.
Understand perfectly, I was just curious since it's such a permanent system. I got some points for shitposting(didn't realize it had to be response worth if it was just a compliment). Thanks for the help.
