Board error. I've seen a member with -27 warnings Shocked!

But it doesn't matter, if someone does something wrong, he'll get up to three warnings, and will be banned if he/she doesn't want to stick to the rules.

Yup.

In fact -warnings are so common that I have a standard text for it when someone ask me about theirs.

Quote:
Hi USERNAME.

This is a screw up of the database, assigning members negative warning numbers.
There are numerous of people experiencing the same as you.
An actual warning is always accompanioned with a yellow square.

Only way to currently get around it, is to issue fake warnings.
I could do that if you like.
In that case I suggest you to make a post or a new topic.
Send me the link to that post or topic.
I will issue X warnings stating they are fake to bring the counter to 0.
When that is done the post or topic could be deleted.
With this method the forum looks cleaner than if a post carries a number
of, what should be, unnecessery warnings at the bottom.

I think the most I have issued this far, to a single user, is 37.

Ouch, that's the equivalent of getting banned 12 times over! Laughing
