There is no thread. A warning is a warning and thats it. Its there to tell us staff members who is behaving and who isn't.

Some people with 10% warnings may not get suspended/banned, some do but it depends on what they did and it depends on the staff member.

Myself if I see someone posting or requesting warez links then they get a suspension as well as a warn. Other mods just raise the warning and thats it.

If you flame I may suspend you, depends on how bad the flame was or how you've behaved in the past.

Warnings, Suspensions & Bans

GBAtemp v2 introduced IPB 2.0; including a member Warning system. Every time a member violates a rule or disrupts the forum, a warning will be applied by a member of staff. Depending on the severity of the violation of rules, the member will be dealt with accordingly:

* Under normal circumstances the member will be issued a single warning and an explanation.
* Under heavier circumstances the member will be issued one or more warnings and may be suspended.
* Under extreme circumstances, being an extreme violation of rules or disruption, the member will be banned from GBAtemp.

All actions are decided by staff only and once made are not open to public debate.

Warning System Rundown:

* Warnings can be reviewed by clicking on the percentage of warnings under the members username within a topic or in their profile. Other members outside of the forum staff CANNOT see your warn level.

* When a member is warned by staff, staff have the option of disabling their ability to post for a few hours/days, suspending the member for a few hours/days or enforcing a staff preview of all their new posts for a few hours/day.

* When a member has been warned by staff, the member will also receive a personal message from that staff member explaining why they were warned. Members may reply to this PM to explain their actions, ask a question or if they think they were warned in error; they may say so.

* Warnings do not automatically decrease. Staff have the ability to decrease warning levels if a member makes a positive impression that they are trying to improve themselves. Otherwise, the warning will be in place for 6 months to a year.

* Once the number of active warnings reaches 10 (100%), the member is banned from the GBAtemp Forums.

* After being suspended or banned anyone caught sneaking back onto the forum under an alias or "suspension/ban evading" will be banned.

All I know about warn levels is that they show that you've been a bad boy, and once you reach 100% you get banned. I'm a good boy of course.

It very rarely gets to 100%. The average is 30% I'd say (or less depending on the rule break and whether they've broken the same rule on multiple occasions, etc.)

I think I remember why you got the warn level. Was it......faking DS games on your DSi (something like that). Or did someone else do that?
