Warning points

[Sk1Bum 11,517]

I noticed "Warning points" in my profile pop-up. Now I'm assuming that's not a GoodThing™, and something I should avoid.

 

I'd like to know more about them, how they're accumulated, how many you're allowed before disciplinary actions are taken, if they roll off, or if you can trade them in for ice cream?

Warning points can be used to do automatic things like limit access to the site, block PMs, etc. We don't use them often because they deeply offend people. But the last time I issued one was to a new guy who was making deals here and backing out, and acting very suspiciously. It got his attention, even though warning points don't actually do anything for the time being.

 

'Why'd you warn me bro?!?!?!?' Was the worst it did.

 

All you have to do is be nice, and you can have as much ice cream as you want.

May I ask what " Your content will need to be approved by a moderator  " is all about?

There are a small number of topics (Like Website Support) that require approval to post in.  There aren't many and you likely will not encounter it very often.
