Just curious, I realized on time an item I said was not correct agains a poster, then even when I edited the thing I got the warning, since the thing is there now for all to see on the moderator’s warning, doest it mean the warning stands even though the post was corrected? [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=448816&page=3](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=448816&page=3) At the bottom. And I do apologize once again for that, so the \*\*tomndebb \*\* warning with my post that I realized should not be there will remain there now? ---

I cannot and will not speak for **tomndebb** , but it’s my understanding that if a moderator intends for a a rebuke to be an official warning, he will note it as such. ---

Darn I did it again, I did not notice your post before correcting, I mention that because I do swear I did correct the post before I got the warning from **tom**. **Q.E.D.** I do remember that, so my main concern now is that the reproach included the bit I wanted to remove, defeating the edit purpose. ---

The only person who can answer your question authoritatively is tomndebb, so ask him directly via email. ---

BWAHAHAHA! If this flies, I’ll be able to call everyone in GD a jerk for a glorious 4 minutes 59 seconds of impunity with every post. Soon the whole forum will weep bitter bitter tears. That’ll teach you all to disagree with **Malodorous**. ---

[/QUOTE] I don’t see any “official warning” to you in **tom’s** post. Nor has any official warning to you been recorded where we keep track of such things. Not every comment a moderator makes counts as an official warning. Normally if an official warning is given that will be stated clearly. If you want to be completely sure about **tom’s** intent though, e-mail him directly. He may not have noticed this thread. ---
