Hello good people

I've noticed when I send a posting, I have a "warn" sign under my signature thingy.
I believe all my postings have been:

Music related huh.gif
Sensible huh.gif rolleyes.gif
Age appropriate huh.gif rolleyes.gif
Helpful smile.gif
Friendly smile.gif
Calm smile.gif

Why then, do I get the "warn" sign? More importantly, how do I get rid of it?

Thank you laugh.gif

we've all got them (ssshhh!) but you can only see your own ! wink.gif
It probably says 0% - which means you haven't done anything untoward.

Nothing to worry about - but you can't get rid of them!

You know it worried me as well for a while! then I just thought well nothings happened so I ignored it, it's amazing that I never noticed it when I first joined. I thought 0% meant that Iwas on my last warning laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Glad I'm not alone ph34r.gif

I am glad that is all cleared up. When I first saw it I thought I was in big trouble for saying too much about how good my teacher is and that maybe they thought it was indirect advertising.

We've all got five boxes, each one representing how many forum lives we've got left. You only need to worry if they're anything other than pale blue and if the Warn level next to them is greater than 0%. The greater the warn level, the naughtier you've been. Depending on how naughty you've been, you may be subject to premoderation, have the ability to send PMs removed, plus other punishments I've yet to hear about (not that I know about this from first-hand experience, my warn level is a nice round 0).

To claim one was insane, you would have to be able to define sanity, and by the very definition of insanity one would not be able to do so, so by claiming you are insane you are proving that you are not.

There's a large difference between claiming one is insane and claiming one is doolally. I spent a long time discussing this with my RE teacher one lunch time. Don't ask why...

of course, if your definition of sanity didn't correspond to the 'very definition of insanity' which your argument uses then it could be possible to be correct in claiming insanity. Also if you are using a dictionary definition of sanity for your argument then you would not have to define sanity, although I still agree that most insane people wouldn't admit it.

Hence, Catch 22:


There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to.
