    I got one of these the other day. Being new, I got all excited and thought it was a new friend who sent me a message. :|

    Whatever I did, that triangle emoji sure was pissed at me.

    I went to check my woos and noticed my warning expires today at 11am so that's awesome

    What is a warning? Is that why some users have jail bars over their pictures?
    What kind of site have I stumbled upon?

    You get a warning when you break a rule. They can be 0 points, 2 points, or 3 points. They usually expire after a week or two. 4 concurrent points (2 2-point warnings) and you're in jail. 5 concurrent points and you're auto-perma-banned. If you wait for them to expire before getting another warning then 10 cumulative points for the year and you're banned.

    Jeez Louise. Someone put thought into that system.

    You'd think. But the warning levels are completely arbitrary depending on who is modding.

    False. Everyone gets one free 0 pointer to start with in case they never found their way to the guidelines. Then 2 pointers. If a user has several warnings for the same thing they will get increased to 3 (and occassionally we get a real crazy person who posts really horrendous stuff, we try to ban them quickly).

    Sometimes mistakes happen, but once you hit 3 pointers thats your future.

    Wait. Are woos bad?

    Excellent question. I have been on hiatus from MFP just long enough to not know all of these things and being behind bars, etc. Inquiring minds want to know

    Woos apparently can mean either woohoo (positive) or woo as in rubbish (negative). Most seem to use it for the rubbish meaning. It makes no sense that it can mean both but that's mfp for ya.

    Guys, I've just been warned. Woo.

    Don't talk about it

    Haha, behind bars I see. Is this like fight club? The first rule is you don't talk about it?!

    No, you don’t talk about it because talking about it gets you another warning :wink:

    No. It's clearly in the rules to not publicly gripe about any moderator action. I'm just trying to do a public service and make good of my rehabilitation time. If I can teach others by example and save just one person from the confines of My Fitness Jail, it will be worth it.

    Unfortunately it's also against the rules to quote the rules.

    D'oh!

    Does that mean I'm on borrowed time?

    We all are. IT'S A CONSPIRACY

    They're at my door guys. Guys?

    Wait, are they dressed in black, white lab coats or burlap and Birkenstocks?

    I couldn't tell. The bag went over my head so fast. I'm in a trunk. Heading south I think.

    Actually we're headed east !!

    I feel weird using the hug button usually. This whole button change thing still has me undecided, the joy has been taken from the woo and hug is a bit too intrusive of personal space.

    Maybe I should just use it to perv on people
