it took me until today to notice that my forum warning level increased to 10%
It begs the rhetorical question: is it a black mark, or a trophy?
I know what it was for, & I agree that I deserved some sort of smack just in principal, but I believe it should've been a smack that couldn't have been so easily overlooked.
The warning level system has never in my experience been exercised as intended, so what's the point of using it at all?
That's the question I can't help but ask.
A pm would have been far more effective to get my attention...at least then, I'd have been notified to reply & at the very least, acknowledge my actions to the staff.
Obviously, my behavior didn't warrant a sanction...but if not, why not?
If it's agreed that one is to be punished for their actions, then that's what needs to be done. Simple as, end of.
Barring teeth that don't bite is, well, fecklessly toothless tbh.
