The best part of them never expiring is they serve as a constant reminder of just how bullshitty mod warnings in general are.

Actually, most are well deserved. But yes, some are bogus, which means they grate for years.

For example, in my case I used a joke that has been used over and over on this board, in fact recently right here in ATMB. “appropriate user name”. Just yesterday a poster made the same (bad) joke about **Really Not All That Bright** (whom has been the target of that joke so many times I am sure she is tired of it). Now sure, when you use that (bad) joke about someone with such a user name it can be interpreted as a insult. But it’s such a common meme here I never thought in a million years I was crossing any sort of line.

A Note would have been reasonable. A warning? Out of the blue? For such a common board meme?

And you get to see that bullshit warning every time you’re in your user cp!

I actually have mine collapsed so I don’t see them, but just for yuks I uncollapsed and reviewed. More than half are pure butthurt.
