35. Automatic Reduction of Warn Levels
  1. We have a system for automatically reducing Warning Levels. This means that now the User does not need to contact the Moderator to reduce it. The reduction will be made automatically after 90 days from the moment of its issuance.
  2. A 20% reduction in Warning Levels will now occur after 90 days. It is impossible to speed up this process. Moderators are no longer engaged in downgrades, the system keeps track of everything.
  3. If an erroneous increase in the Level of Alerts is detected, the Moderator can cancel his own, and the Supermoderator any last increase, and the system recalculates 90 days since the last correct increase in the Level of Alerts. The complaint mechanism for raising the Warning Level has not changed.

What to do now to lower the Warning Level?
Do not break the rules. Nothing else. All terms are controlled by the automatic system, all its actions are logged and available to any Moderator for analysis.
When the system is started, those who did not violate the rules for 90 days will experience a 20% reduction in the Warning Level. For other offenders, the deadlines will be calculated by the system individually.
Why 90 days, not 30, as before?
To reduce the number of violations. If you do not break the rules, you will not notice the difference.
And if I ask the Moderator or the Super Moderator to lower the Warning Level to me earlier?
If the increase was made correctly, then your request will be ignored. Moderators and Super Moderators are no longer engaged in regular descent, only in case of erroneous actions.

1) What are useful messages? How do they differ from the usual?

Useful messages are messages taken into account by the forum engine only in those sections where the forum counter is enabled. For example, in Trepalka, Site Work and some other places it is disabled - this is indicated in the explanation to the section on the main page:

Reputation - a way to thank for the post, a similar system in our forum for a long time. Rating is an innovative way of expressing one's attitude towards the user (see the header)
Reputation can be changed from 15 posts - so try again, it should work. If everything does not work out - let us know in "Bagtreker" - this is the next branch.

And with a negative rating, you can raise / lower the rating? And then it does not work out to be either on + or on -.. and that is due to the fact that on the old engine it was impossible to add several photos, and I added in 3 posts I received a minus :(
