View Full Version : Warnings
I'm not sure if i am posting this in the right place so sorry if i am!
I got a warning ages ago for posting a link, which i thought i could do because other people were, but after i posted when i read the rules at the top of the spoilers page and it said you cant post them but it was too late!!
Will the red thing at the top when i post things ever go away?
thanks

Lol.. the red thing is to report bad post. But you got a warning for posting an external link not a soapboards link or something like search engine etc. It must have been a link for another forum or soemthing.. No this warning won't ever go away.. that's the problem you see.. most people don't read FAQ's and rules.. and its too late lol. But now you know the rules your ok xx

sorry, i gave that warning- didnt know you then, sorry, there is another wanred post further up the thread for the same thing, as far as i can work out its not removable, but will speak to GR about it, maybe there is something we can so like a clean slate, if people manage to survive two months without any warnings or alerts????
.:SpIcYsPy:.
20-08-2005, 16:30
Rach.. its not the fact of someone doing something wrong and if you don't know them you gave them a warning!! You just gave the warning because you saw a wrong link... your just doing your job hunny xx

very true spicy,
what do you think of my clean slate idea???? there is someone on here who could probably do with it? two (or three) months with no alerts or warnings and it zeros???
very true spicy,
what do you think of my clean slate idea???? there is someone on here who could probably do with it? two (or three) months with no alerts or warnings and it zeros???I'm not sure the warning system could do that automatically though Rach and it would be slightly tedious for GR to keep track of things and do it manually :)
Alerts eventually disappear on their own but warnings stay for good.
Dont worry Rach! I just wondered if i could get rid of it!!
I posted a link to the ********* because someone asked me the address!!

cheers WQ, i didnt know if the system could do it automatically ot not?
cheers WQ, i didnt know if the system could do it automatically ot not?It's a good idea though, maybe there's something GR could add that will do it.

Give me one guess lol :p Erm clean slate idea... it sounds ok obviously the people in the postition would like this.. after a few months to clean tis ok but only if they know what they done. I can see hayley understands and I know the above-mentioned-one-guess-person has learnt a bit... and as soon as we see people learning from their mistakes then we should allow a clean slate... only if we are sure though!!

Some people will never learn tho.
You should get 1 or 2 chances in then if still doing things wrong then it should be permanant.

20-08-2005, 22:29
So all them little green boxes below the money are alerts or warnings? I have an alert, does that mean mine will eventually disappear?
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 22:32
Your alert doesn't appear on screen tho, mine does?!?
Alert's should aparently go after a month.
xCharliex
20-08-2005, 22:36
Well when i post i can see an alert on mine and a little green box above, i just see a green box on yours, im sure ive had mine more than a month, maybe im wrong though
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 22:38
Oh right i thought everyone could see my alert! I've had mine more than a month, i've spoken to GR about it and he said he would look into it for me.
CrazyLea
20-08-2005, 22:41
i thought everyone could see my alert too. so i guess you all cant then?? is there a difference between a warning and an alert?
xCharliex
20-08-2005, 22:42
Lol i thought everyone could see mine as well, in red letters "Alerts 1" lol. No i only see a green box for you, and others for that matter, nice to know im not the only one with one
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 22:44
i think loads of us have got them, what did you all get yours for?
CrazyLea

Yes there is a difference between a Warning and an Alert. Click on your page where it say's "View your Warnings" that should help you.

Mine was for my banner being too big, Bondboffin made it for me! But never mind, i know how to make my own now.

Oh dear, ah well we all seem to have an alert for something or another, we wouldnt be normal if we didnt have one lol

Don't we all, i'm glad i don't use one of the headset's that types the words you say, coz it will probably be all swearing! At least i can edit what i say this way.

Lol, true.
Alerts eventually vanish but warnings don't!
Charlie the green box(s) aren't warnings or alerts, they are reputation points. You can give a good point or a bad one to somebody depending on whether you liked their post and it basically shows who makes good posts and who doesn't but I don't think enough people are using it. They will go red if lots of people disapprove of your posts etc...
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 22:59
Oh i never knew that, can the person tell who gave them the bad or good reputations point? I think mine is still on 10.
xCharliex

So how do you give points to people? I thought they had something to do with alers/warnings, lol so basically no-one actually knows if you have had an alert/warning unless you tell them, am i right?
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 23:01
You see on each post there is at picture of sales, well click on that and it takes you to the reputation points.
xCharliex

Oooo i see. Come on peeps approve of all my posts :D LOL
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 23:04
Lol, i did you one, a while ago.
xCharliex
20-08-2005, 23:05
Lol, i did you one, a while ago.
Aww thanks :thumbsup: more please :D lol
Oh i never knew that, can the person tell who gave them the bad or good reputations point? I think mine is still on 10.No they can't tell, if you go to your "User CP" at the bottom of the main window you can see your recent reputation points though and their reasons :)
So how do you give points to people? I thought they had something to do with alers/warnings, lol so basically no-one actually knows if you have had an alert/warning unless you tell them, am i right?Yeah nobody except the staff can see that red writing if you have an alert/warning. And only you and the staff can view your warnings :)
xCharliex
20-08-2005, 23:14
No they can't tell, if you go to your "User CP" at the bottom of the main window you can see your recent reputation points though and their reasons :)
Ah rite well ive discovered at the bottom "warnings" lol thats it, but if i click on my lil scale things i see 10 points, god im sooooo popular :cheer: :rotfl:

I think 10 might be the maximum, but i'm not sure WQ will know!

Me to.

20-08-2005, 23:18
Actually it says 12 in my CP, so i have no idea lol
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 23:19
I haven't looked in that bit yet
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 23:21
i can't see it in my User cp, where is it?
xCharliex
20-08-2005, 23:25
Right at the bottom over towards your right
Jessie Wallace
20-08-2005, 23:37
i still can't see it, what's it called?

Jessie Wallace
21-08-2005, 00:05
I don't have that on mine.
xCharliex
21-08-2005, 00:09
Hmm thats strange
Jessie Wallace
21-08-2005, 00:15
well i am i little strange!
xCharliex
21-08-2005, 00:16
Lol, i wouldnt say that chick
You should be able to get loads more than 10, people just aren't using it enough. I was given a disapproving ones for saying Michael Jackson may re-offend and for saying I don't like Jake and Danny Moon!
Latest Reputation ReceivedI've got that too - I have 12 points, and had some reputation received, though no comment was made against it, I wasn't sure what we started with - I panicked a bit, cause I thought a complaint had been made at first but then realised I had no warnings so was slightly confused.....
i got a warning noones added to my reputation though, i have given out a few too.
I've just discovered that if you click on your own scales, it tells you what reputation you have for that thread - my reputation for the thread that I had received it for was "somewhat positive" !! (by the way, well done on hitting your 1000 cornetgal, even though I am probably really late in saying that :cheer: )
xCharliex
21-08-2005, 12:05
Ive been banned for some reason? So i dont know if this post will work, i dont understand why i have been banned, apparently ive been abusive??? please help, i havent been abusive to anyone
Dont worry charlie, you haven't - the system was hacked this morning and everyone got banned - rach, jude and gr are working on it :)
xCharliex
21-08-2005, 12:07
OMG I nearly cried lol. I was well upset i knew i hadnt been rude or abusive to anyone, thanx for letting me know hun
No probs, the guys are working really hard on getting it all sorted...I must have been unbanned before I logged on this morning. Just hope they find out which moron did this. Posts and threads have been deleted and loads of hassle for the guys.
xCharliex
21-08-2005, 12:11
Oh no, what posts have gone? Any big ones?
Yeah i had 3 emails saying i had been warned etc and i was permanantly banned for being abusive. I knew i hadnt been thats why i sent a reply to this thread just to see if it was for real, lol, thank god its not it would have felt like id lost a limb without this board
Crumbs, yeah tell me about it, this is my lifeline lol!! I know the petz and harry potter ones are causing a few issues, and apparently all of the easties ones went, but they've got them back pretty much. If we notice anything missing or problems, we've got to let them know....
I wasn't emailed anything at all unlike most people.... strange....
By the way, some people were saying that they couldn't see the reputation thing at the bottom of User CP. Its because you haven't had any points added or deducted recently. When you do it will come up, then after a few weeks go away again
Jessie Wallace
21-08-2005, 16:08
I wasn't e-mailed either.
maybe you were not set up to receive e-mails relating to this board
Dr. Tangliss
21-08-2005, 16:24
I wondered what was going on this morning
Yeah nobody except the staff can see that red writing if you have an alert/warning. And only you and the staff can view your warnings :)
So everyone who isnt staff cant see my warning?
Dr. Tangliss
21-08-2005, 16:43
it was madnesss
I bet it was. We get that on our board too!!!:mad:
does the red warning writing stay on there forever as my warnigns are inactive now
Jessie Wallace
21-08-2005, 20:07
maybe you were not set up to receive e-mails relating to this board
Yeah i do get e-mail from the boards.

People on the forum will award them to you, if they like or dislike a post you have made. Just click on the scales above the users post, and you can add to a persons rep :)
Dr. Tangliss

Dr. Tangliss

Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 11:15
No probs
wow it says i have 10 reputation points and something about my reputation on this post os even whatever that means lol
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 11:17
That's really good :)
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 11:19
I have 21 points :)
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 11:21
:d!
lol so do you get a point from every person who adds?
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 11:23
Yeap, you sure do. People can even write comments as to why the gave you postive of negative feedback.
Yeap, you sure do. People can even write comments as to why the gave you postive of negative feedback.cool
so if someones dissaprroved does that mean you get a point taken away?
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 11:28
Good question, I am not sure. I think you get a point but it's red??
Good question, I am not sure. I think you get a point but it's red??ok it would make sense you got them taken away and then say when you are on 0 or lower you go red
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 11:31
\yes, that makes sense :)
Jessie Wallace
23-08-2005, 12:58
There is one person on here that has gone red!
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 12:59
I think that's due to warnings.
Jessie Wallace
23-08-2005, 13:01
No it's not, it's all to do with reputation, you can see when anyone has a warning or an alert, only the person who has it can see it.
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 13:02
Maybe they have pee'd a lot of people off?
Jessie Wallace
23-08-2005, 13:04
Who know's, i expect it was the mod's who gave them mainly, as there the only people who really got the hang of it. But i think it's beginning to catch on.
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 13:14
I only started adding to peoples reps a couple of weeks ago, so that does make sense.
So that is what this trader rating thing is about! Like in ebay? I didn't know.
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 13:19
Nope, we are taking about reputation points :)
And what is that, and what is the trader rating?
Hey - has someone done something to help Brian my snail - he is looking very good, in a Poirot kind of way! If so thanks!
Its something to do with swap shop, pretty much like ebay i guess. Its different to reputation points though. Rep points are in reference to members posts. Trader points are in reference to swaps
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 13:23
Hey - has someone done something to help Brian my snail - he is looking very good, in a Poirot kind of way! If so thanks!
Yeap I played with him :)
I am soo behind - no idea what you mean by swap shop. It makes me think of Noel Edmonds, Maggie Philbin and Cheggers - showing my age!
1000 posts yeah!!!
Dr. Tangliss
23-08-2005, 13:25
Congrats!!!!!!!!!
It's like an ebay type arrangement whereby you swap stuff in your inventory.
Yeap I played with him :)
Thanks!:thumbsup:

I think the warning system is ok how it is. It seems to stop people doing the same stuff over and over, and thats the main thing

Bad Wolf
24-08-2005, 12:49
thats true, havent seen a stacked one in ages
duplicate posts are just annoying anyway, even worse whwn every other post started has sharon or dennis in the title
How many text talk warnings do you get, before a ban?
Dr. Tangliss
24-08-2005, 12:52
Text talk's the worst!!!
I have to admit, I don't undertstand most of it.
How many text talk warnings do you get, before a ban?
Initially you get an alert. If you persist, you get a warning. Once your warning have added up, you get banned for 3 days.
ah ok i just wasn't sure if it would end in a ban of some sort.
Maybe the length could be increased a bit? I say that because 99% of the time its new users that use text talk, and 3 days wont mean that much. 3 days is certainly enough for an older member, who perhaps is slightly addicted (lol!), but newer members dont tend to come on daily. Anyway just a point
Jessie Wallace
24-08-2005, 13:17
yeah, but new members need a chance, plus if you ban them for too long they may not come back again if they are new to us.

what happened to your name?

24-08-2005, 13:23
itd driving me mad, i bet when they go, we'll have numerous "when will shannis return?2 ones
i was threatening to ban (temporarily) the next person who started one on sunday because i was so angry at wq
what happened to your name?
I got it changed :cheer: :thumbsup:
$sTaCeY$
24-08-2005, 13:25
Sounds like you could do with a kit kat :lol: lol
$sTaCeY$
24-08-2005, 13:25

how?
$sTaCeY$
24-08-2005, 13:51
i might change my name but i like it as it is :hmm:
Dont change it then, hun!
I think its a lot better having the signiture limit raised to 500, even if people dont always like the fact. Makes your job a lot easier! Text talk- no easy solution to that. hmmm, let me think...
Also i noticed that not as many people are streching the page with banners any more, which is great :thumbsup:
$sTaCeY$
24-08-2005, 13:56

25-08-2005, 01:08
Yeah, leave it, i can't cope with all these name changes, it's confusing me!!
I'm not sure if i am posting this in the right place so sorry if i am!
I got a warning ages ago for posting a link, which i thought i could do because other people were, but after i posted when i read the rules at the top of the spoilers page and it said you cant post them but it was too late!!
Will the red thing at the top when i post things ever go away?
thanks
hayley x
I did exactly the same thing. By the time I realised it was to late and now I'm stuck with it too.
