Warning (traffic light) System?

8 replies · 52 views · Started 26 October 2003

Hi folks,

what happened to the old traffic light warning system?
Was there any specific reason why it was not inplemented in the forum?
I had some PM discussion with Raven about it, when we got notified about some Warez thread. In our opinion it does not really help to post a warning under the thread and close the whole thread.

Any ideas or opinions how it is possible to block these guys and prevent them from posting other than logging their IP address.

Cheers,

I'm not sure if its worth trying to reinstall this feature.
If it can be done easily then OK but I think warning them via a PM with a notification of that warning posted in this group will do for the moment. People can still be banned.

So how do ban people then? PM to you or Rafe?
I think the button system was easier. People will anyway complain once they got banned whether we do via you guys or the button system 😊

To ban someone you can just go into that persons profile, click "Administrative Options: User Options" and then you have the ban option on the left.

Okay, learnt something again 😊
Have to try to spend more with the forum, but the last few months were rather heavy at work!

Cheers,

Sorry, but that doesn't work for me. I can click on the admin options, but I don't have access to it. To whom do I have to talk to get this fixed?

The traffic light warning system was quite nice.

Same here.It doesn't work.I guess it might have something to do with Raven's rank - Super Moderator. 😉

I'll look into getting something sorted out ASAP.

Its been a bit hetic for me since I switched over the forum and there's still a lot of catching up to.

Apologies

Rafe

No worries Rafe!

It'll will take time, which is normally when you make such a change.
I guess the new admin option in the profile replaced the traffic light system, or?

Cheers,
