**Jonathan Chance** claimed he/her was suspended because of accruing 3 warnings in 3 months. Yet the third link has no warning. (It would be nice if you guys linked to the actual warning instead of the post.)

The third link goes to this post.

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19026126&postcount=112](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19026126&postcount=112)

and the only mod response to it, that I can find, is this post from **Jonathan Chance** :

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19026705&postcount=134](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19026705&postcount=134)

where there is no actual warning, just a threat of a warning for future similar posts.

So what are the mods response to this new information?

I have nothing but admiration for the tireless efforts of the \*\*Drunky Smurf \*\*Innocence Project.

You’ve misinterpreted that post. “You’ll get a warning” means that **Jonathan Chance** was issuing a warning for it immediately, not for future posts of that nature. The warning was issued, and shows up in **BrightNShiny’s** profile (which only he and the staff can see), so he knew it was a warning.

For the record, BrightNShiny received a fourth warning within the past six months.

It’s not new information, and I have no idea why you would think it is. In any case there is no “magic number” of warnings that will get you suspended. Since this thread is based on a false premise, I’m closing it.

If you have an actual complaint about the warnings, you may open a new thread. But make sure your information is correct first.
