No!! Don't show the dreaded moderators' axe of DOOM!! With that in the wrong hands this thread could be closed quicker than a walrus can change a lightbulb!... no wait... that would take millions of years of evolution...

Quicker than fairly quick, but not quite as fast as instantly!

I'm not sure whether to laugh, type the typical spam message and gain a Warning Point or press the report post button!

Warning point? Um... that sounds ominous... what are they exactly?

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Warning points are a nasty punishments inflicted upon members by the staff for doing incorrect things. They automatically steal your signature for a few days and remove your ability to edit posts, but, after thirty-one long days and nights, they become inactive and their threat is destroyed.

However, if a member has three active warning points at once, then they are automatically demoted to their previous rank for three days. In the case of Members, they become Junior Members and in the case of Senior Members, they just become normal Members. If five are active at any one time, then a ban is inflicted upon them for four long and exhausting days.

Oooh cripes... don't like the sound of them What sort of things do they get given out for?

And what exactly do you mean by "They automatically steal your signature"? Does it just disapear, or does it get a shameful message put into it?

Anything that breaks the rules really - spam, indecent exposure in the Babe Thead, flaming and trolling are the most common reasons for their imposure. However, often, the moderators are very kind, especially if it is your first offence, and let you off with a formal caution, which is basically a record in your file, but no action is taken.

Fortunately, it just vanishes for a few days - some less merciful moderators would like to put something evil in it's place, but TosaInu, being a benevolent and almighty as he is, prefers to keep all warning points between the earner and the staff rather than naming and shaming their earners.
