Warning System

[Thomas]

We have implemented a new warning system. Its fairly simple and straight forward.

It's like this:

Icon	Title	Duration
	Warned User	2 months

When a warning has been issued to a member, the icon will be visible in the users profile for the duration of the warning. The icon will also be visible in the post where the violation occured along with a description fo why the warning was issued. The icon in the post is permanent.

When a user is warned, s/he will also receive a PM.

If a member gets another warning within 2 months of the first warning, that member is banned.

Very simple.

So don't get warned  

Edit: we now also mute. It's less severe and lasts for 7 days.

We are, annoyingly, experiencing a growing number of issues with the warning system. For a while it's been a problem that warnings don't go away - now other problems are popping up (at this end). It's possible that it has to do with some other issues that means we really should update some things but we've been unwilling to because we don't know how many of the add-on's we have added to the system outselves will stop working so a major overhaul might be needed at some point but we'll see. Anyhow - just a headsup that the system may look and work strangely
