Warning Points Showing Below My Avatar When I Post

[kevjohn]

Boy O boy. I must be doing something wrong here.

I didn't have any warnings so I can't compare with

all you gentlemen.

Theblether was going to sort this out with Tywais but nothing has been

said yet so I'll just have to sit and wait.

[chiang mai]

I think having more metrics that we all can see is an excellent idea.

[ThaiBrat]

i see no warning

[kevjohn]

Not very transparent...

I wore transparent knickers I would get arrested.

If I wore transparen knickers do you think I'd get a warning?

[Jingthing]

There's nothing to see here folks. Move along.

[kevjohn]

Although I have a warning point and I am sure over the years I deserved more I still think the one I got was undeserved.

I have been reading this forum since 2006 and I can asure you that I have never read any of your posts that would warrent a warning.

And this is from one Ausy to another.

Will I get a warning for being off topic and a vindictive horrible wee bastard ?

Where can I get some some essence of hiso ?

[Buchholz]

I have one point from 1987

1987?! That is old school...

So old school that it was fifteen years before this forum even began in 2002.

and eighteen years before he even joined the forum in 2005.

There's a certain cricket fan on the General Forum who is quite an expert on it.

Just saying.

By the way no one has noticed that I have been promoted to Pedigree Blether...........

Yeah, the Warning thingie seems gone. Well done!

I still see them. Oh wait, I'm an Admin.

Clearly this was going to be as contentious as the Reddies/Greenies.

You don't say......

[David48]

Hey there george ... the bus load of school children (aka Thai Visa Forum) may want to drive this bus off topic.

... but, as a collection of some of the more experienced posters here they (not me with only 1,000 posts) would appreciate some answers.

You guys ... hold the Ace cards ... we want to play the game ... but we need to know the rules ... as they are introduced.

Maybe you were trialling the visible 'warning points'

As we acknowledge that we need and appreciate good moderation...

we would appreciate some feedback also ...

As for onionluke's essence of hiso ...

EDIT:- forgot to make george bold

Very well put.

We all have a PM function. Sometimes members use it to bicker amongst themselves, other times to complement each other, even simply to converse with friends.

We all have this feature, every one of us, it can be used as a tool by all. Hopefully for the better.

I fully support this feature and anything that promotes greater transparency regarding how the forum works.

I would be interested to know though whether moderators can see more detailed information when they look up a members "record", when considering a further warning or worse. I think they should be able to see any response/defence offered by the member after they received prior warnings, i.e. pm/s sent to moderator or to support ... to know the complete picture

An excellent post as usual Bruce.

The other issue of course is a lack of clear dialogue in order to work out solutions to problems.

[necronx99]

I sense an undercurrent of discontent...

[smokie36]

Although I have a warning point and I am sure over the years I deserved more I still think the one I got was undeserved.

Disagree with the first part and agree with the second.

In fact I sent a message to support(at)thaivisa.com and am still waiting for a reply. George?

[David48]

Hummm ... I just read all the comments ... you guys really like a bus load of school children (sometimes ... and sometimes I'm one of the biggest)!

But alas, the children are our future.

If I was george (and I'm not) I think that he might have trialled the 'warning points' system.

Well actually, it's always been in existence, but invisible to us.

When we got a taste of it (because it became visable) all hell broke loose and like asking any prisoner in Jail if they were guilty there would be a chorus of 'not me gov'

Edited May 10, 2012 by David48

[David48]

So now george has a problem. Many of those who had the warning points have now inundated his admin guys with 'please explains'

Maybe there will nothing forthcoming on this matter.

Maybe the lesson by us to be learnt is that there is a warning system in place and that we should be aware of and if we are smart make occasional questions to the 'higher level' Mods (or admin support) as to what our state of points accumlation are.

chiangmaibruce ... also with some sensible suggestions in post #33 yesterday

[David48]

We all have our favourite Mods and usually it's not what they say to us, but how they say it.

I appreciate be pulled up when I am out of line, but I appreciated when it's done like this not like this

So, maybe enough said on this matter and maybe we are one unruly, but happy family again

Now I'm off to me a little troll hunting me thinks ...

EDIT:-

… obviously we are being a cut a little slack here and are able to discuss some of the inner workings of TFV when they directly effect us.

So let’s not go and muck it up with a whole lot of spurious and negative comments ... we're not in the Pub section here!

ps ... if this is considered to be comment about moderation (and it's not) can the warning come from george please?

Reminds me of the "attaboy/awsh*t" scale, do something good and get one point, get ten points and you get an "attaboy". Screw up once and you get an "awshit", except I don't think there's an "attaboy" system in operation, just an "awsh*t" one.

Pedigree Blether , where can I get some of that ?

Trust a yank to miss the irony.

Shit, racial profiling! Do I get a warning for that?

Shit, swearing! There's another one.

[dantilley]

"Shit" should be OK I think because it's not altered by the profanities filter, therefore must be considered mild enough to be acceptable.

[smokie36]

"Shit" should be OK I think because it's not altered by the profanities filter, therefore must be considered mild enough to be acceptable.

I thought the fact that the profanities filter altered the post made it OK to use a certain word. In the right context naturally.

It appears not. I refer you to my PM comment. Then I refer you to my no reply from support(at)thaivisa.com

No reply from the moderator concerned.

You see reasonable is the key word here.

@ Tywais you'll notice I have taken note.

You've got to be careful when your pedigree is recognized. You'll end up being put out to stud to all and sundry.

Apparently that was tried last year in Chiang Mai ... unfortunately without success ...

[nocturn]

As requested ...

Not hidden, the new feature was so buggy so we had to take it off.. Never mind.
