I've decided to change the warn level system a tad bit.
Each warn level increase now accounts to 20%. So now it takes 5 warns to get punished.
However, I will be more fair with how it works. Rule topic will be updated later to include:
Which also means, all previous warn level logs and entries are now reset. Everyone starts fresh.
Also, I'm going to have a PM sent out to every new registered member about the values and rules we have set in place for this website. So there will be no "I didn't know".
I think this is more fair and reasonable, because I admit I've been rather strict. I just want nice, pleasant, and fair forums with quality discussion (unless its in the trash forum
)
Thanks everyone.
UPDATE: I've also done some housekeeping to the dreaded Rule Topic.
Heres some of the entries and updates:

I'm sorry about these changes but some people do not share the same values as the rest of us about making this a quality community. Moderators and administrators will be reinforcing this right away.

Warn level increases only happen when:
- You do a major offense which is extremely obvious that its not allowed here (flaming, spamming, racist etc)
- You keep repeating the same offense over and over again, and an administrator/moderator is tired of it

Also, these forums are rated the same as the game starcraft, which is TEEN (13+).
If you are not older than 13 years old, then use these forums at your own risk! Some topics may have things that you may not want mommy and daddy to know about!

SHOUTBOX
Everyone loves the shoutbox. Its like a chatroom except the shouts remain. Its more "realtime" compared to actual topics, because shouts a week old are deleted. But we have a set of guidelines and requests for there too.

Warn level section:
QUOTE
If an administrator or moderator thinks your additude is out of hand, your warn level can be increased by increments of 20%.
"Warn level" is the little progress bar that appears at the bottom of your own posts. You are premitted to view the logs showing who warned you and why.
You can only see YOUR own warn level and nobody elses. It is private until it reaches 100%, which it may be used to judge your future at Staredit Network.Warn level increases only happen when:

Thinking about it, that's a nice addition. Ten warns seems a little too much now 
Note -- If we are to be less strict, I'll increase the number of posts I delete without warning.
That is all!

Most people wont even care about this because they dont do any of this, and it doesnt consern them in anyway. You've been a respectable member ent, so it doesn't matter to you. Its directed at select individuals, they know who they are.
