First, let me state, this post is just a FYI. It is not indicative of any changes in attitude at this site. No one has been banned from here since Jim Drago took over and as you will see, no one should ever get permanently banned thanks to this WARN system that has always been on but never actually set up.

 

This forum has a way for moderators to "WARN" users if they are stepping over a line. We really only have two lines. Conduct and Spam.

 

If a member were to violate either the spam or conduct clause of our user agreement, a moderator would come along and click "WARN". The moderator will have two choices; SPAM or CONDUCT

 

REASONS

SPAM awards you 2pts

CONDUCT awards you 1pt

 

The points are automatically retracted 30 days later, so having a moment isn't going to penalize you at all. As a matter of fact you can have several moments before things get a bit more rigid.

 

ACTIONS

1pt - no action, user notified and an indicator is shown below their name. (name & shame?)

2pts - All posts for the next 5 hours require a moderator to approve them.

3pts - All posts for the next 3 DAYS require a moderator to approve them

4pts - Posting privileges are suspended for 7 Days. (Cool Off/Don't Spam Me BRO!)

5pts - 30 DAY Suspension

 

After 30days your points are reset to zero and the account is unlocked.

 

 

 

Any comments or concerns ? Let us know below!

 

Thanks!

Mike

Why is this needed? I dropped put of school because they gave me demerits... :)

I think in the history of he new site only three of us have ever needed to be warned. One guy is a quiter, one is sitting the bench and the other is sitting in his cave shaving some tires lol :)

It certainly isn't needed from what I have read over the past two days... but if you ever wondered why it says 'warning points' under your avatar, now you know. it was also the original inspiration for the "You Got Served" Award. I know how you guys like to win so thought I would toss another opportunity into the ring :)

 

Speaking of awards, did you guys stop winning things or did the award system get dropped as soon as I left :)

Awards don't get handed out to much, as who really can keep track of who won what? That's a tough one. I have asked for awards to handed out to friends who have won etc... Jim has always been good on follow through with that.

I enjoy seeing people get awards, so feel free to use the contact support system to let me know. All I'd like to see are race results to confirm the award.

 

To access the support section, click drop-down menu on your user handle, select Client Section and then Support. Subject Award and post a link to results and which award you feel it qualifies you for.

WARN is kinda like going 2 wheels off?  If so I think we should all start with 2 WARN pts out of fairness, then hope we we can keep our cars on the track which we know we will have a hard time doing,

 

If you not getting any warn pts are we really trying hard enough? so is it shame to get warn pts or a badge of courage????? 

 

IMO get rid of the warn system its not neede and lets focus on having some fun, which for me is what te forum is all about, others its for PR, others still its for education, Im sure there are other reasons peeps come here... some just lurk...

Due to the recent spam posts I reinstated the WARN system so that moderators have more power to contain outbreaks. We also added an additional layer of protection during registration and I think I found all the ones that got through initially.
