Warning Expiration

[AngelAmidala]

As many of you are aware, over a year ago we had something called "Amnesty Day" where all warnings and general bannings to that point were reversed.

At that time, staff was using a rather manual process to issue the new warnings (unofficial and official) and those warnings were kept track of by manually adding information to a thread staff had access to.

About mid-August, Erwin created a new warning system that is in place still today which is much more automated and provides an easier way to keep track of not just warnings but also Requests for Edits (RFEs) and Staff Edit Notifications (SENs).

What seems to have happened with the new system is that it kind of over-rode (or something) the old system so that the old warnings were not being removed as they were supposed to be by the system itself a year after they were issued.


So...over the weekend I went through our old records to make note of which warnings have expired and when others will expire.

As of this Announcement, all warnings (unofficial or official) that were issued on May 11, 2004 or earlier have been expired.

I am doing this process manually, so please be patient.

Each day I will be going through and removing warnings that expire on that day.

If you have any questions regarding your own warnings on the old system, please contact me via PM.

so often it seems mods. want to simply pund out the warnings and bans..but they dont get erased or removed as started in the Cf rules...wish there were more mods like you.

I've got a couple questions:

1: Ever going to have another amnesty day?

2: Are warnings issued after the move to the new system, going to disappear like they are supposed to?

3: Not a question, but another amnesty day would be FABOO

 

[Annabel Lee]

Thank you, Angel.
I am so looking forward to getting of these expired warnings!

1: Ever going to have another amnesty day?

I am not sure on that. I wasn't actually the one who suggested the last one. I just did all the legwork.

2: Are warnings issued after the move to the new system, going to disappear like they are supposed to?

I don't know since the new system didn't start until mid-August. My impression is that yes, they would automatically expire after a year. But I will keep my eye on it.

Your request and support is dually noted.

I almost said something I shouldn't have.

Wow, AA. Make sure you blink once in a while, and also get up and walk around. That's just...insane. I'm thinking upwards of five hundred warnings to be removed.

 

[Roman Soldier]

I have one warning point from a long time ago. Will it ever expire?

Sounds like fun!

Grizzly... what on earth are you doing in that photo of yours???

Goofing off! I was in my backyard grilling for my family and friend when my wife asked me where the beach was. That's my cue to start the fake "body builder" poses. But that's a lighter for the grill in my hand and the grill is behind me. I had also just gotten out of the pool....

I hadn't noticed that picture until I saw Erwin's post. ROTFL, very good, Grizzly!

 

[Annabel Lee]

I still have three expired warnings in my profile.
It's been a long while, any hope yet of getting them removed?

 

[USincognito]

AA, you're amazing. I have subscribed e-mails and casual exchanges from friends I've been meaning to reply to for a year I still haven't gotten to yet. Good for you and Kudos!

 

[Roman Soldier]

I don't think that anyone addressed my concern.

Is there a bug in the automated warning expiration code? I have one that pre-dates the automated system that hasn't been expunged yet, and one that post-dates the automated system that expired a few days ago, but is still showing up on my warnings list.

I PMed AA about this a week or so ago, but didn't get a reply. I can understand if she was to busy to get to the manual reset, but I'm concerned about the automated system failing to expunge my post implimentation warning from my list.

Are warnings deleted from the list when they expire, or do they remain visible, but with the points not counting?
