Hi all,
I tried to go thorugh the "help" section of the forum, but could not find the solution to this q :)

Near my name, in each posts, there are now 2 percentage bars:
1) intermediate poster, with related message percentage
2) another percentage bar, referred to as "warn", 0%.

Since I cannot see that bar for any other member, I wonder what that is. :rolleyes:

Thanks to anyone will reply !! :D

The first bar, in blue, underneath "intemediate poster" is a general indication of how many post a person has made on this site. A person making the first post will have a very short bar, a person making a lot of post will have a long bar. So looking at my reply, you should see basically a maximum length bar.

The Warn percentage is a new feature where a system administrator can issue a warning to a poster. This would occur say, if you posted some vulgar material that had to be deleted. Of course if the offense was very bad, you would just be barred from posting here. But if it was minor, the adminstrator could issue a warning to you, and raise your warning level. If you ever reached 100% of course you would be banned. The only people that can see your warning level is you and the system adminstrators/forum modulators. Since I can see (and adjust) peooples warning level as a forum moderator, I can tell you that currently everyone
s warning level is zero and that this feature is extremely seldom used (levels cn be adjusted up and down).
