    What are warning points?
    What exactly are warning points? Also, why do some people have red things by their names instead of green friends things?

    An evil and unforgiving way for mods to assert their dictatorial power over common, inferior users like us. :sadnod:

    So, I may just have described evangelicals as "heretics" in another thread. Does this get me a warning point? I mean, it's completely true, and yet ever so slightly bigoted. (some kind of face icon here)

    The rep system is about posting good posts to get a green gem, only for you to post your opinion which will take you back into the red.

    Ooh I've just read the FAQ on warning points. I wonder how many points I need before I get a spanked bottom and sent straight to bed without any supper.

    I think he means how many say temp bans he would need to get a perm.

    It depends, get a lot of temps and the mods may decide to give you a final warning before they perm ban you.
