Ah yes, it depends on the layout you use!

I'm not sure if it has been said (probably has), but when you receive an infraction you are PMed. When you receive a warning you're not. So it's not totally quite.

After every post you'll notice if it has gone up.

Yes but when you receive an infraction your points will go up. You can see this quite easily by looking at the top right of your posts.

Warnings count as nothing, so how are you going to notice these?
Also, it may be a one off post in a thread you might not go back and check your post. (Edit; I see what you mean like 8/1 (1) but still.)
PMs were a simple and easy way of keeping track of your warnings/infractions.

You're really over dramatic about some issues lol. It's not really hard to check User CP, people usually do it naturally, and you also see them in your information bit everytime you post.

A simple pm from a mod and then its fine.
I dont notice warnings in my user cp for days after and i dont even notice it when posting :s i pay not attention to post count or anything else i just read the topic to decide if i want to read it or not.
if you need 2 warnings to get the caution and you are not aware of the first one it will just cause probs.

I am on about others here and not myself as i dont read pm's sometimes so dont know if i have issues or not

Alright, well that's better than no PM at all, but I would still almost think a PM when you receive a warning is a good idea... I mean isn't the purpose of a warning to alert you that you've broken the rules and to hopefully prevent you from doing it again? It would just make sense to me because people are more likely to notice a new PM (with the whole JS popup when you get a new PM + some users have the Forum email them) than they are to notice a subtle change in their User CP.

Also, like memory already said, how likely is it that you're going to go re-read your previous posts to check for warnings?

Anyway, just my opinion...

Your spot on.

For the sake of a quick pm with a link to your warned post whats the big issue? i am all for a stricter forum but not sending a pm is a backwards step.

I also read bullying is a perm ban? is that for one post abusing somebody? or a series of posts? some people only abuse others back in retaliation and I think you will end up banning the wrong person in some cases.

What the hell, the 8 in your "8/1 (1)" means you have eight warnings. How can you not notice that?

So every post you make you read that info in the top right? I can assure you I dont and I bet the majority or the forum users dont.

Did I say that? I can bet you, and the majority of the forum users glance at it at least once a day.

Like Jhr said, its not like once you've posted you check how many you've got - 4 of my warnings and my infraction expire before the week new system, so I'll be 4/0 - Lucky !
