Question about the Warnings

(1/8) > >>

I am a book nerd:
Uhm not sure if this goes here but i had a question.
If you get a First Warning does it stay with you as long as you are on the site or after a certain time (If you have done nothing to get a Second Warning) will it go away so if you do something bad again (after the first First Warning goes away) you get the First Warning again? 

Serack:
Speaking from experience, if you show honest regret, and through your actions show that you are a positive contributor to the boards, you shouldn't worry about the long term effects of having been spoken to one time when you were new.

Here's a direct quote from a bartender on the subject.

"a polite, reasonable, public response has more than once erased any "record" for the poster in question on that issue."  (One of the PM's I need to backup)

I once got a bit wrapped around the axle about some responses to a concern I voiced and was asked to back off and take a brake from the subject.  After a couple weeks of taking it easy, and a few deliberate internal attempts to moderate myself, and eventually an extension of an olive branch through PM's, I came to be pretty good friends with the respondent and was much happier for it.

Edit:  OTOH, I have seen mods who appeared unhappy about individuals that habitually seemed to push the edge and drum up drama that they would rather was avoided.  The mods do remember things, but they are also great people that want everybody to have an enjoyable experience here.  If you are genuine in your desire to be an upstanding member of the boards, and behave as such, everybody should be happy, and I'll be glad to see your contributions!

Thanks for the answer. I'm not planing to get into trouble but i was curious if it would be on a permanent record or not  :)

Lol after posting, I went back and looked at your posts and saw that they were all sweet, with no edits, (with one that I guess has decayed due to the 2 week decay time on the pub) so I was wondering how you could have possibly earned a warning. 

If you haven't, I recommend you read "The Book of Don't" and the other rules posts on the Announcements board.  From that you can get a pretty clear picture of what not to do, and what constitutes a positive contributer

I am a book nerd:
I haven't earned one myself (and hope i never get one) i think a read The Book of Don't but i will probably read it again to make sure i didn't miss anything. the question just pop into my head and i didn't see it anywhere so i asked  ;D
