Since my query on the FAQ thread is quickly going nowhere, I figured I'd make a topic to get the answer.

When you receive a warning, for whatever reason, does it ever "expire" or is it permanent? :yuusaku:

Thanks to Lind_L_Tailor for the badass sig! :neil:

Was it really worth making this topic?
As Gozu said in the FAQ, if you want a specific question answered by a mod do it by PM. They're much more likely to notice and to respond to it this way.

That said, why are you desperate to have the question answered? As long as you don't "reoffend" whether you had a previous warning or not isn't important.

It expires. I've gotten a warning... Once in my entire time here. It raised my level to 1. It disappeared not long afterwards.

The staff doesn't actually use these, though, to determine punishments, so don't worry about it.

I wasn't even aware these existed until my first one came up. I assume the only reason they started popping up is because the newbie mods tried using them. Really don't worry about it. They're thoroughly pointless, since verbal warnings have long been the favored tool of the staff to get points across.

If you come across an older post of mine, sowwy

protip: you get better responses by pming people, or making your own topic

I was taking Gozu's advice. And I'm not desperate, but it was bugging me, and the admins/mods were apparently not interested in answering, especially since Lind said he asked the same question and got a similar (lack of a) response.

Thank you, HH. That was very helpful.
