MCHinson Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 This has been asked and answered many times. The short version, only you and the moderators see that and you should ignore it. It is part of the software package that is used to ban spammers and scammers. It means absolutely nothing to you and you can ignore it. If you want one of the long versions of the explanation read it here: http://forums.aaca.org/topic/256963-user-warnings-and-points/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thanks for the answer . I have never seen this question posted before . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 With all due respect, if it means nothing and we should ignore it why do you not eliminate it? Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 As has been explained many times, it is part of the software package that we use to ban spammers and scammers. It means nothing to you but the software requires it to be displayed in that manner if we want to be able to ban people that need to be banned. We tried to turn off that display and when we did, we could not ban spammers, so we had to have it turned back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyJetstar1 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think you get a demerit for any question you ask, that may have already been asked in one of the other 1.5 million posts over the last 10 years. At least I did, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 No "demerits" for anybody but it does get sort of old explaining it. With a quick search I found that this is the 8th different discussion in which I have answered this same question. Most of them were shortly after the forum software change but apparently some people missed it at that time. There was a lot of discussion about it shortly after the forum software change. Hopefully everybody got the message now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capngrog Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 0 warning points means that you've been good, but THEY are watching you. I didn't say that, Grog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm getting flash backs of my High School permanent record. And then there was the time Kodak had me sign my annual performance review in pencil. I just feel like an underachiever without a warning point. I should, at least, get one when a post is deleted.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I guess been Old School I thought I made a huge mistake posting all those Orphan car for sale . Bernie is right about flash backs of High school . I should be new style and do not care about any comments but just keep doing the postings . I will check next time before I ask . Thanks for the support and feed back . Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Don't apologize for inquiring, Mark!With all the content of this Forum,it's not surprising that someone may nothave seen an explanation. I can understand the AACA's intentionof making this forum friendly and welcoming.It's the face of our club to the world, andwe certainly want to be encouraging ofall car fans. The "warning points" term anddisplay, I agree, is overbearing and presumptuous,and is not the best way to encourage civility.It evidently came with the software, and I hopethey'll figure out a way practically to get rid of it!

Matt Harwood Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I might actually like a few warning points. I'm just that kind of dangerous person. Give the next guy who looks at my profile something to think about. /twists mustache evilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
