Dear Moderators / forum admin,
Over the past 9 months I have been living with the constant and ever present fear of a forum ban. Seems like an odd fear to have I hear you say, I will explain. You see for these past nine months I have been serving a 'One month forum warning'. Whilst I have built up the mental tools for coping with this burden, I think I have served my time. That little orange 50% warning bar plagues me in my sleep. Whilst I have no interest in 'reopening' the snow flake melting incident that originally cause said ban, I do feel I took my punishment on the chin and its time for you guys to let me get on with the rest of my life.
How have I survived this difficult time? Well these have helped (and would recommend all regular, somewhat sane, forum users to use at their discretion ):

www.christianpost.com/voice/is-the-sky-really-falling.html
www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/10/how-spot-reptilians-runing-us-government/354496/
On another point of clarification I presume I have built up some 'forum credit'. Not that I am planning to do anything rash, but ya know, some days there's [poo] that needs saying.
Sean [The fully reformed version].

is this something that get placed automatically (ie its calculated by the system) or something that the moderators put on a profile?

Whilst I have no interest in 'reopening' the snow flake melting incident ... This had me dying laughing - thankfully I'm at home and didnt embarrass myself or have to explain to others. And this springs to mind: |

Wear it with pride! I think mine's been there for about a year. Nowadays, I view it as a badge of honour.

 Don't just kowtow to the admin that sent you the ban notice. Try tonguing all of them. |

What does one have to do to get on the site mod's bad side anyways? Habitually violate the code of conduct, demonstrate chronic aggression to other forum users, perpetually post graphic images that are in poor taste, epitomize the term "drama queen" just to name a few things. That said, we don't go out of our way looking to stick it to somebody. We try to let people self-police/self-monitor/self-calibrate to a degree. The whole idea is to have a forum of the people, by the people, and for the people. We don't want to be involved in policing all the minutiae. We want to have fun, too, not just come here to deal with drama and/or move posts to the correct parts of the forum. |

Funny thing is... he's basically telling to stop acting like an 8 year old. And your response is 'but I don't know what you mean... like I actually don't understand the words you're using...' because I’m only eight years old.

Sorry, Thunderkiss, but your warning level slipped through the cracks. I've taken you back down to 0%.   |

While I know your reasoned response is in no way related to my situation, I would just like to mention to the impressionable members of the forum who may well develop some negative assumption of yours truly, that I didn’t do any of those truly deplorable things. #itwasawhitecollarcrime I would also like to apologize for the excessive use of commas. And also thank the moderation team for doing such an excellent job of keeping us in line. My warning status has been returned to zero! It like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you all! |

Thank you all! I told the mods that simply being Irish warranted keeping the warning at 50%. You never know what those guys will do after a few pints of Guinness or Kilkenny...  The only thing worse than being Irish is being Australian. We managed to export one of our worst beers and now we are forever cursed with being internationally known for the calamity that is Foster’s Lager. Now that’s an offence worthy of banning a forum member, maybe even a moderator.... |

I don't see an orange warning bar, is it only visible to you? For Aussies the ban bar is black and starts at 50% when you sign up. What level is yours at? |
