What Is This? Warn 0% Box Box Box Box Box

When I log on today I found a warn icon next to my name and a zero percent with boxes. What the devil is this? I haven't seen it before and if I posted something someone didn't like why wasn't I PM'd or contacted about it?

Well I have looked over the board a bit and see this next to noone else's name. I guess I am to assume that the powers that be no longer want my voice. So be it. Bye

Scott has been "tweaking" for site a bit. A warning would not have been issued without you being told about, but you're not likely to recieve one. I see nothing unusual about your post page. Is it still a problem?

Until it disappears yes. It makes every post I have made suspect to those who don't know me.

I see it under my name also, but not on anyone else's. I think we can probably only see our own. What is it measuring? How many warnings we get? And if it gets to 100% then.........? How long does a warning last? Anybody can have a bad day now and again, and I'd hate to think that kind of thing follows one around forever.

I was about to ask about the same thing. I don't see your "warn box" but I do see mine. I'm thinking that we can only see our own?? I would guess that if we got a warning only we would see it?? It kind of alarmed me at first but the 0% was reassuring. :lol:

Usually its only moderators who have the capability of viewing this and who are able to issue a warning. As Lisa stated Scott was tweaking the board and possibly this feature needs to be reset.

Ravenwoodglass, a 0% simply means that you have never been issued a warning. ;)

Also, people are not issued warnings unless they violate one of the board rules.

EDIT: If people are only able to view their own warning bar and not anyone else's then it shouldnt be a problem and noone is issued a warning without being made aware of it.

Scott did make some software changes yesterday. It sounds like ordinary members can now see their own warn level. If it shows 0% then no warnings have been issued. As a moderator, I can see everybody's level, and can issue a warning if the member violates the board rules. This is never done without communicating the reason to the member.

After three warnings, the member's posting privileges are suspended.

Ravenwood--

Please don't feel bad or consider leaving the forum over this--it sounds like while Scott was tweaking some things on the board, somehow, the warning bar became visable to each (or some) member(s).

This bar is generally only visable to the moderators--all members have one, including the mods. Having a 0% means, as Rachel said, that you have not ever been warned. Mine reads the same :)

If a member is warned, they always are contacted and told why.

There was a persistant spammer on the board all day yesterday, and the usual method used to ban him/her didn't work, so I'm sure that in an attempt to correct this, the warning bars were made visable in some cases.

Please know that you were never singled out and that virtually nothing changed regarding your profile--you are a valued member of this forum :D

For what it's worth, I can see my own warning level (which is "0" :P ) but I see no one else's.

So your secrets are safe from me! :lol:

Thanks guys for the clarification. The 0% was reassuring but I was alarmed that I could only see it on mine and thought others could see it also.

Life has been throwing more difficulties and hard decisions my way the last couple of weeks and the stupid use of an unchecked hand lotion that smelled so great has me in a not nice place emotionally and physically. The thought that I might not be wanted in the one place where I have a purpose was more distressing than it would have been normally.

Thanks again for letting me know what was going on.

Ah--that answers my question :D I had wondered about that myself!

I've got nothing to add to the explanation. But I will say that you've helped me out a lot, especially in the beginning, so you better not go!! :D

I'm sure if this wasn't Scott's intent, he'll take care of it. But as a PP said, your 0% warn should be reassuring.

I am glad you are not leaving over having had no warnings! :rolleyes::D

It is as the others said, yesterday we couldn't get rid of an indecent spammer! As soon as I made one of his posts invisible, there would be another. The normal thing used to be that when somebody got three warnings, they would automatically be banned. But after giving him three warnings, he was still being able to post with impunity and getting bolder! It was very frustrating.

The moderators have always been able to see your warning level (which is, obviously, at zero). I can see everybody's, including mine.

But apparently, all the 'regular' members can now all see just their own. Which I guess is fine, you will get used to it.

I hope you feel better soon.

I hadn't even noticed, but yes, I see my own level as well. Perhaps it is by design, so we each know what our own warn level is. That would be my guess.

Glad to know that the confusion has been straightened out, and that ravenwoodglass and everyone else is remaining a valued member of this board.

With a little help from another member, I have confirmed that a regular member can see their own warn level, but nobody else's. They can click on the percentage to open the pop-up window which gives details about their warnings if they have any.

As always, the mods can see everybody's, and can issue (or rescind) warnings.

Don't worry. :)

Last night I went into my name to check out a post I had done and saw the Warning there at 0%. This morning when I signed on there it was next to my name when I posted -- I freaked like I am sure others did wondering why I saw mine but no one else's and what did this mean.

I am happy that someone posted about this situation -- it did clear up concern about what was going on b/c I felt like I did nothing wrong and also did not see the warning/boxes next to anyone else's name.

Thanks for clearing it up :D

There are a number of automatic substitutions that take place here. Some are to improve clarity and make entries easier to find using a search engine. Two common two-letter abbreviations are replaced by "celiac disease" and "gluten-free" respectively.

A large number of product/site names have been implicated in spam problems in the past. Such names are replaced with "Lame Advertisement." I can't tell you the list, because only Scott (admin) knows the whole list, and even if I did know, the list would show up as Lame Advertisement, Lame Advertisement, Lame Advertisement, Lame Advertisement, Lame Advertisement, etc. :blink:

You can sometimes work around it by inserting spaces or making other changes which get past the filter.

For example: amazon dot com

I wish the warn/box would go away. It feels like it is just lurking there. Watching me. Waiting for me to screw up. Waiting to POUNCE!!! Where is the scary movie music to go with it? :blink:

Seriously, I wish it was gone.

I know exactly what you mean! It is sitting there - all accusatory even though I haven't broken any rules, like the proverbial 'Big Brother'.

The fact that I couldn't see anyone else's made it worse - it felt like I had been singled out for some reason!

So, if only the Mods can usually see it does that mean that we have all been made Moderators!!! :o

Please can you get rid of it Scott, please, pretty please..............it's put me off posting.

I appreciate this thread, because I am relatively new here and logged on and saw the same thing. I was starting to wonder what the heck I said or did. I thought it was a pre-warning grace period or something. Thanks for clearing it up.

No, Ken, what you got was a "courtesy call", not a warning. We save the warnings for very special people. :P

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
