It says warnings expire but let's say you got one a few months ago, then you get another.... do those points stay accumulated even though the warning "expired"?

Also if you get banned can you keep tracking your macros on mfp?

    No. Once points expire, they don't add onto new points, but if you get another warning when you already have points, even if they expire in a day, they'll add up. That's how some people got banned. 5 points and it's an autoban. You can still use the tracking features if you're banned just from the forums, but depending on the offense, you could be banned from the whole site. Happy trolling.

    But I thought the point accruals were in increments of 0, 2 and 5.

    0, 2, 3 and 5. You can get two 2 point warnings to make 4 points.

    Thanks guys! And no I'm not planning on doing any trolling but I was surprised for one of my warnings so I was just curious as to how the system works. I would seriously be lost without the tracking option at the very least so thought I'd ask. Thanks again

    Be aware that if you accumulate 10 warnings of any kind in a year period you can be banned. It's not in the general guidelines, but you can find it here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10007789/flagged-content-reported-posts-warning-points?
