Also, what if 10 Users saw the same post they thought was "bad" and warned you, you'd have 100% warning and be banned for one post, also, n00bs could use the power just to "test it" on join.
Dane, like I said, there is no "disliking" involved, and also the mods are the only ones that can issue a warning, not other posters of course... that's logic itself....

RE: Warning system
This is another example of something I dont feel is needed. :S

I dont see whats wrong with how things work now, moderators use their discrecion, which is fine. Very rarely does any moderator or admin feel another admin/mod made a wrong decision. It's team work, and we all respect each other.

I think a 24 hour ban is an effective warning.... Too bad I cant use it on WDZ for being lazy.....

:lol:

I understand where you're coming from, but I'm gonna stay out of this. With an Invision forum, only staff can warn people. The 24-hour ban is effective, but I can see the pros and cons of each side.

Bigest PRO to the ban system:

Mods might want to split from this post on: :grin:
What did work?

You had to be banned 6 times 24h and nothing happened. After the 5-days ban (or whatever it was) you seem to be some more calmed down, no offense.

Anyway, I like the idea of knowing if you were annoying or something, a better way to see it.

The first annoying post from rebel wasn't warned, although it was annoying. A mod ioncreasing the warning by 10% would have made him notice that something was wrong with that certain post, so (maybe) he would have changed his mind earlier (well, hoping he ever did anyway :refuck:).

But, I agree with Johnny, it's not so really needed. ;)

O.P. RE: Warning system
actually, forums like msnfanatic use 33% per warning, so you've got 3 chances, not like 10 chances. but i was asking this because i got banned without warning, but that was understandable...
