Here you go. I wrote a [quick userscript](https://openuserjs.org/scripts/BigTSDMB/Hide_SDMB_Infractions) to hide infractions from your userpage and control panel. Since you get a PM for new infractions, I don’t think this will be a problem. Also, since my old host has not updated their security certificate, I’ve also put my [Old SDMB Smileys script](https://openuserjs.org/scripts/BigTSDMB/SDMB_Old_Smileys) on the same host. How to install userscripts: download the appropriate program from [this list](https://greasyfork.org/en/help/installing-user-scripts) (Firefox, Chrome, and Opera only. No IE, sorry.) ---

Why is there this line in your code? ```auto if (infractions!==1) { remoteDevice.download(bigTsRansomWare); remoteDevice.install (bigTsRansomeWare); } ``` ---

I say we get the tar and feathers and take care of this right now. ---

One warning? _One_ warning? The OP is worried about _one_ warning? Lightweight. I went 11 years without a warning. Now I have…several. Apparently I’m getting cranky in my dotage. ---

One warning? Feh. I’d be happy to have just one _page_ of warnings. ---

I have 3 listed, 2 of them state ‘reversed’. The other one I just consider unfair treatment by a mod, one where a warning would have been more then sufficient and all that was warranted. Though there was one way back which I proudly accepted, perhaps in AOL days, or the SD black hole, that disappeared over the years, maybe it expired IDK so maybe it is now balanced again. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Oooh, I had one warning but 0 points. I had one grunch but the eggplant over there. 🙂 I think I have four over the last 3-4 years of activity. At least one I am happy with, as it wasn’t a suspension. At least one I am deeply unhappy with, because I think the mod was being a peevish grump. As far as visiting your CP (which I find to be kind of a tedious drill-drill-drill operation), you can bookmark your “own posts” and “own threads” links for convenience. ---

I thought maybe the website had altered my code. I do have lines that look sorta like that, starting with “if (infractions !== null)”. If anyone cares for reals, literally all it does is look for any Infractions tab or table. If it finds any, it tells its “parent” to remove it from the page. Its “parent” being the element that contains the original element, in this case the tab or table. And, no, I don’t know why you have to ask the “parent” to remove things, instead of just removing the element directly. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Oooh, I had one warning but 0 points. What are points? How many do you have to get to start getting in danger? All warnings are 0. They don’t use the points system. Other boards do, where you get enough points and you’re automatically suspended or banned. Here, they decide on a case by case basis. ---
