Why was I given a warning?
- Thread starter Jujucares
- Start date
A single warning will not have any impact on your use of the boards here, so don't worry about any damages.
I have no idea who this user is. He is not one of the mods that I was told about. Are you sure that is who sent you the warning?
Which post was the warning for? Warnings are attached to specific posts.

A warning message always contains the thread where the offense occurred. It would be in the parentheses. I don't know why there wasn't one rather than just your user name.
I saw the warning. I don't know who techgeek66 is, nor why the warning was issued, since there is no offending thread listed.
I removed the warning. It would not have done anything anyway, as a single warning would not be enough for you to be restricted or banned. It is merely that - a warning.
I will report this issue to Slinky so that it can be further investigated.
In the meantime, relax. You are fine now. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

As far as I know, the point system does not have an auto ban function to it. Then again, I've never gotten to more than 2 warning with anyone. But Slinky has banned people at will for gross conduct violations, some after public warnings. Others just on the spot. I don't think that Slinky himself used the warning system much. Seems that was more by the old mods and now me. But I'm not really a fan of it, because I don't like the general nature of the boilerplate sayings offered on there. It's just that sometimes I would prefer to give someone a private heads-up rather than a public flogging and the warning system is good for that.
I'm one of those that got a temporary ban. It was shortly after I joined UG, and I had made a couple of glowing reviews. All of a sudden, I get banned for a month for being a shill (which I am not). Since I was new, I didn't make a stink or try to fight the ban. But from that point on, until my mostly retirement from the hobby, any of my reviews usually contained at least one negative comment.
Like I said, I've been mostly retired from the hobby for a couple of years, so I haven't had a review recently, but I still enjoy this community.
