> [@septimus](#): > > I guess I’m tied for the lead with three! 😛 My warnings each have “0 points.” Are they better or worse than warnings with points? Just to clarify, the infraction system had built in the ability to assign points, but the SDMB does not use it. All warnings here are zero points. ---

The only warning I have is for posting a jokey answer in GQ before the question was answered. I won’t point fingers at the mod by naming any names but it rhymes with Bam Phlegm. ---

I had one about a year ago from **Marley23** for an sly reference about moderation, in a Pit thread. It was reversed after an ATMB discussion thread. I thought there was another one where the other poster and I both apologized to each other via PM but it doesn’t seem to show up in CP. That is how wild I am. ---

From what I can see, i have no warnings issue to me - though I can’t actually see the infractions tab, or whatever it is. I did get one reminder about bumping a thread but I forgot to look at when the last post was. :smack: Learned my lesson about looking at how old a thread is! 😃 ---

Zero. I’ve been here for 9 years, going on 9000 posts. I’m low-key (some might say a wallflower), and I get out all my really actionable SDMB-centered rudeness elsewhere. ---

Got one in 2009 that was later recinded. For calling someone’s “Women’s intuition is always right about men” post “The paranoid nutjob perspective”. ---

I thought you were making a joke. Posting in a “How many warnings do you have” thread matter-of-factly stating “One” when you’ve worn it on your sleeve since you got it was, as I took it, a very nice meta-joke. I apologize for assuming a fact that is apparently not in existence. ---

I apologize for assuming a fact that is apparently not in existence. Not everyone reads ATMB. Not only that, but I dont think I am all that well known here- for a Charter Member that is. I’ll bet there are many readers and posters here who have no idea of who I am, and dont have any idea of the history behind my one warning. Now yes, I did expect those who habituate ATMB to smile wryly at my post…but not actually break into laughter.😛 You should get a PT job sitting in the front row at Comedy Clubs!😃 Unless of course, you didnt really find it funny at all, and wanted to use IMHO to do a PIT like personal attack on me for some reason. But since I have no idea of who you are, that seems doubtful. ---

3 warnings in a six week span, but they were all nonsense. ---

I don’t think warnings are something to be proud of…especially most of mine were pretty well deserved for being a total ass (my default state, sadly). Since what I take to be the new warning system was put in place sometime in the past I have 2 warnings that are officially in my User CP. I don’t know if they kept track of ones I had before that, but I know I had a long time ago but aren’t in my official record now. ---

I didn’t see any in my User CP, and can’t recall any other than an occasional “settle down” admonishment from a mod or two. Been here almost 15 years with an average of about 1,000 posts a year and barely a rap on the knuckles. Yeah - I am definitely not one of the cool kids. ---
