    I didn't really want to bring the Cow's Arse into it to be honest. It's a separate place with separate rules. I want the clarity for this place.

    Sounds like that wasn’t an official warning, more a friendly suggestion.

    When the forum started I sent a suggestion to someone as to how they could reduce their chances of ending up banned again. It wasn’t an official warning as at that point they hadn’t broken any rules but it looked as if they would. They ignored my suggestion and well guess what, but my point is that wasn’t a warning officially.

    The fact that you think nasty personal abuse against an older forum member, implying senility and dribbling is 'low level' says it all.
    It's perfectly possible to have a robust disagreement about football opinions without resorting to blatant ageist stereotypes and name calling (such as above).
    I wonder how much you'll like being abused because of your age when you're a pensioner. Old age comes to us all you know.
    The warning, official or not, was completely justified.

    Your lucky it was only a month

    The next ban is a permanent... you and a few others are sailing close to the wind

    A reminder to some members to think on before posting as you have all had previous warnings.. we don't just ban people for the fun of it

    Some mods are already asking for permanent bans to be enforced against a few members not heeding warnings

    I see lots of inappropriate content on this site going unchecked. Yet I was banned for a post that was neither edited or deleted and is factually correct. (I could evidence the facts with archived C&B data.)

    Just to clarify, you weren't banned for a single post. You accumulated enough warning points to automatically trigger a one month ban. When you are warned, a number of warning points are given depending on the severity of the offence. Continually breaking the rules means that you get more and more points, gong over the threshold for points will trigger an automatic ban. Essentially, multiple minor indiscretions will eventually result in a ban, which is what happened in your case.

    Where can we find information on the values assigned to warnings? I'd assume there's a table with an explanation in one column and the number of points assigned to it next to it?

    It used to be on your profile page on C&B. Each warning was listed with the number of points and when it expired.

    But shouldn't it be known in advance rather than when it happens and you see the impact?

    It's disappointing a mod hasn't replied yet.

    Not sure now but the points were dependent on how serious it was etc so could be upped from the standard 1, eg if it was second or third warning for something then you could get more. A bit like when someone is guilty of speeding the penalty can be different depending on exact situation.

    So not a fixed number. As @Hoochy-Min@Hoochy-Min said, it was made up as went along.

    But it could be different now.

    You may be right and forgive me but all I can go on is the words of a moderator who said....

    When you are warned, a number of warning points are given depending on the severity of the offence​

    So my question is how does a member understand the scale of offences and the number of warning points assigned to these offences?

    @Frank Castle@Frank Castle - these are your words. Could you answer my question? If not @StaffordBantam@StaffordBantam @king karl@king karl? I'm disappointed that I have to turn to tagging moderators to try and get an answer.
