Warning Points

[Penguin_ie 5,986]

The warning points are always on your profile for the mods to see, but stuff older than 6 months "counts less" (depending on the reason for warning) .

Damn, I'm sad I missed out on seeing how many I have ..

Hopefully they are no longer visible. We can't have people seeing other folks mod notes. That said we are happy to send any mod history from your account to you on request.

I think we SHOULD be able to see what is written about us.

I once had the distinct privilege of seeing what a mod wrote about me - supposedly by "accident". It was very illuminating.

Everyone is suppose to play nice around here. The Mods should be required to do likewise. By virture of my previous experience, I know they do not.

If the Mods were required to leave a note that the "offending member" could see, perhaps they would operate on the same level expected of the general membership.

The system does have a method for this, but there is a downside. You can read the note/warning when you are warned however the system will automatically prevent you from posting until you acknowledge that you read it via a pop-up/check box.

Thoughts? It is easy for me to enable. ..

It would be nice to vote a post down as well as up. Currently the only way you can sort of do it is to vote up all the opposing posts.

Having to acknowledge every warning could become tedious for some.

I'm not sure if we are on the same page or not.

Whatever is going to remain in the Mod archive is what we should be able to see.

I agree we should be able to vote posts down.

I do think though this should be limited to the "upper forums" and Regional Forusms. If I were to vote something down in the those forums, it would be because the immigration advice is bad.

In the "chatter" forums, I would be just as tempted as the next person to vote something down because it pissed me off.

What is the use of issuing a warning if it is not read?

Yes, I am saying you can read all mod action / notes each time a new one is added. The only method right now is for it to be presented to you as an aknowledgement screen you need to click to be allowed to post again. There is not an option to allow you to see your entire history at any time (was a goof that it was enabled after the upgrade -- it also gave some mod functions which we can't leave enabled in mass for people obviously).

Very Bishop Berkeley.

I don't understand.

We were able to read our history until you took it out.

So it was just one of the "mod functions which we can't leave enabled?"

And that's why you took it away?

I have to say - I'm skeptical. It looks like the original format was to enable people to see Mod commentary. Where is the "goof"?

It also enabled viewing a few other items that folks didn't realize yet that they could see. I don't mind have members see their warning note / reasons. What I do mind is that before that is done there is often a running dialog between the mods or even myself where we discuss the warning before issuing it. That conversation is private. We (I think reasonably) need a private area to discuss things before decisions are made.

I personally don't think we should see it, but should be told when one is added. I had no idea that I had gained 2, 3 years ago, and I have to say reading them (which were just PM's I had seen and deleted previously) was very distressing. I could tell by the dates which horrible fornight of my life these related to and being reminded of that time, and still having points from that time, is incredibly hurtful to me.

Seeing such horrible things written has done nothing but turn me off this site and its moderators. My N-400 is still in process otherwise I would have deactivated my account (or at least abandoned it), that's just how hurt I felt by the whole thing.

Vanessa, if something is deleted for you (us) then I think it should be deleted in the Mod archive also.

Fair enough.

I'll see what I can do so that each warning and associated notes are visible to members. This upgrade has a million knobs. Maybe it is in there or potentially something custom I can make.
