EVERYONE has this warning meter. You are only able to see your meter, not other members. It just sits there with 0 warning showing.
The warning meter is part of our moderation system used to easily contact members when they have not followed allnurses.com bulletin board TOS policies. When activated, meter changes to number of points assigned by Mod Team member per TOS violation. 10 points and your posting privileges are suspended. Because we value members privacy, Contact between bb member and Admin/Mod Team is done privately without disclosing any moderation activities.
Depending on infraction, points usually removed after 30-60 days. Outright spamming, multiple accounts, X rated material and immediate ban will occur, with word banned listed under members account name.
99.9 of our membership never have been contacted regarding post content ...just follow the Terms of Service and you won't hear from the Mod/ Admin Team ....except for the Birthday Greeting!
