Is there something that appears on-screen listing the number of warnings you’ve gotten? Do you get a PM, or what?

> For warnings on discourse, if you have any, there is a counter at the top of your profile page. You should be able to click it for specifics. For warnings before discourse, we have a record of them, but no simple access available to users. We don’t track modnotes. For some search hints see this thread: Max\_S has a very useful one.

But be aware that W\_E’s comment applied to mods, and we don’t see the counter. It has a Link to another related thread to help search for warnings and mod notes as well as this hack from @TroutMan

> I saw a [discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-arent-warnings-easily-accessible-like-suspensions-are/164043/11) that suggests users might be able to see a list of their warnings by appending `/warnings` to the end of the URL for your messages (i.e., `https://boards.straightdope.com/u/username/messages/warnings` with “username” replaced with your actual name.

Hope it still works!
