Can you be so kind as to explain the warn status under my profile and also the user rating and reputation. I looked thru the help section and I'm still unclear how this works. Thanks in advance Don

Reputation

By giving members the ability to rank an individual post up or down your community becomes more

dynamic, self-moderates, and encourages quality contributions. Configurable by the administrator, a

member can click "+" or "-" on a post to give or subtract a point. Once a certain threshold has been

reached that post can be automatically hidden. Points are accumulated for a particular member giving

them an overall reputation rating as well.

Warn System

From the new warn system, moderators can make private notes about a member, contact the

member, and also take action on their account. Actions may include suspending their ability to post,

requiring all the posts to be previewed, or completely banning a member from accessing the

community. Moderators can choose permanent or time-based actions.

User rating doesn't appear to be documented. I see it as recognition of a forum member's overall contribution to the community, as recognised by other members. Hope that helps.

Yes Ron, "Stumpheads" are still a reference and valid category for someone who has been banned. Thankfully no one has needed to be banned or even warned in quite some time.

The Warn Status you see is only visible to you and is a way for you to see if you are on your way to being a Stumphead. There are very few people who have anything more than zero. First warning is 33%, second warning is 66%, and third warning is Stumphead Land. But in all likely hood, you will even receive a verbal warning before the first official one.

The Reputation feature is something that we have not decided whether to keep or not. I just left it running because it was the default when we upgraded.

So at the second warning or 66% warn status - would that classification be termed a "stumpy" ? rolleyes.gif

Actually, I believe the term "stumphead" derived from the first person banned from PalmTalk, whose screen name was "Stumpy."

Dean - an interesting historical accounting of where the term "stumphead" derived from. post-1261-1208739184.gif Actually I have always been curious how that "classification" came about. wink.gif

Possible collision course with Stumphead status!

That sounds like a proper warning status. rolleyes.gif

Actually, I believe the term "stumphead" derived from the first person banned from PalmTalk, whose screen name was "Stumpy."

It was TreeStumpHead, frequently shortened to Stumpy. He loved Pollo Loco . . . . :rolleyes:
