Warning Meter
The Warning Meter

Everybody has a warning meter that is only visible to themself. The meters shows how many times you have been warned by the staff team for violating rules and regulations of lowyat.net.

Only Admin and Staff Teams have the ability to issues warning. Moderators do not. However, moderators are allowed to request warnings and suspensions.

When the meter is at 0%, it means you haven't been warned yet. If you have anything other then 0% then you'd been warned. To view the reason of warning and which staff that warned you, and you can click on the percentage to see a history of your warnings. A staff under normal circumstances will either inform you by email or PM about your warning.

All warnings will increase the meter by 10% for each warning given but percentage do not dictate suspensions time. You may be warned several times for minor offenses before suspensions is given but receive a suspension for just making a serious offense. All warnings will expire 6 months after it was issued. Warning prunes are done automatically by a script which runs on the first day of each month only. As such, if your warning was due to end on the 3rd of February for example, it will only be removed on the 1st of March. As of 21st March 2006, all warn prunes will reduce your meter by 10%, but the logs will remain.

If you wish to appeal the reduction of your warning, PM the staff that gave you the warning, or where applicable, the moderator who requested for the warning (this will be indicated in the warn logs) with a strong reason. Staff/Moderator discretion applies when it comes to removing your warning.
