And when will our warnings go down or disappear?
Well I can speak for the majority on the reduction of warnings... (as we've spoken about it a number of times now in the Admin area)

As the group sees it currently, they will forever stay once given.

They offer tracking reasons for us as Admin/Mods, and also people often think they can lay low for 6-12months and then come out on the fire again and we've seen that many times over... which if warnings 'expired', would be impossible to record and track for us and give people unlimited lives if you will.

I didnt want to start a new thread about this so ill just post it here. I was given a warning of 30% about a year back I think, and when I click on it there is no note as to why I was warned. I didnt chase it up before because it was only 30% but it is now 60% :ermm:

I dont know who did it either so I cant PM the mod/admin to clarify. I may have deserved it or whatever but I just want to know why I got it so I can try to avoid doing it again.

good read.. i like it..

but just some input..

what about if the warnings can stay but the percentage dropped over time of good behaviour.. that way a banning wont occur unless these users are consant naughty boys and girls.. and if they want to lay low for the time being then it will be a time of peace..

the law follows this in the real world.. you break the rules and lose some points.. after 3 yrs get them back.. although the record stays on file.. i think a yr maybe 18months the warn % should drop even if the reason was to stay on file? then if the same warn is repeated you can just increse the warn to the level you require (assuming you mads can do that as some got 40% warn or 30% warn for one offence) and then can be review on appropriate punishment..

and not that i'm bothered but ppl with power most always use it to their advantage.. not in picking on ppl or shit like that.. just in general.. government is the same way in all countries.. they power hungry and greedy (not pointing to mods on here!) it is, human nature, and with great power comes great responsibility lol

shit happens in life and you gotta get over it.. we can voice the unfair behaviour all we like but in the end how can we have a utopia when everyones views are different.. police dish out punishment which some see as unfair but nothing can be done about it.. same with the mods.. without these mods there will be chaos just like the real world

apart from maybe the duncan/dirtgarage issue (which may be a need for separate corners is in order.. or a fight to sort it out [without warnings or public viewing] to get things off some chests as dirtgarage seems adament in solving the beef between the two)

GO THE MODS POWAH LOL

nice thread digging!

Yes absolutely they could. But there is nothing automatic about the process, its not 5 warnings = auto ban.

The warnings are notes to the admin/mod to show the poster's history. If there had been a series of different issues over many years and the current warning was not major I would expect they would not be banned. Equally plenty of people get banned on their first warning (returning banned members, nike shoes salespeople etc)

Not worried about any one else, just assumed from what has been said previously that the 100% is an automatic ban, the example i gave was to demonstrate how the non expiry rule is flawed, but it is a mute point now.

Yeah I'm not sure why IPB have set it up as a percentage, I've heard similar queries to this a few times over the years. The "%" number just gives mods a quick visual indicator that the given user has been warned before, and if the number is high that person might need a bit of extra attention lol.

As mentioned, don't worry too much about it, the fact it's a percentage is a little confusing but the number itself doesn't really mean anything :)

    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
