Whew-- I was a little worried :rolleyes:

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

Add me to the list -- thanks for answering.

I thought it was a little strange since mine said 0% but I had a warning when I didnt think and posted my own website once.

Oh, I thought maybe the warnings expire, like speeding tickets on your insurance :P:D

I believe that it was noted before, that only the individual poster can see his/hers warning levels, with the exception of the moderators. Other members here cannot see other warning levels except for their own.

Sorry neesee, your feeling were hurt :o . Sometimes a little humor can be taken the wrong way.

Another note to add that moderators have always been able to see warning levels of everyone, even before this software upgrade. The warning ability has always been there; the only difference now is that you can see your own.

Giving someone a warning is a serious thing. It is never funny! No one should make jokes about it. I took my warning seriously and I will do my best to never let it happen again!

I have a "warning" level of 33% because apparently more than 1.5 years ago, an admin removed a link to a blog from my signature. I never received a message about this, nor did I have any idea I was "warned".

33% seems pretty high for posting an innocent link to a completely appropriate blog.

Can someone make this go away?

I received a 33% warn because I pointed out the "inappropriate" behavior of one of the moderators here.

So far on this thread the moderators have kept hidden the other effects of your "warning". The warning levels probably go by thirds. With a "33% warn", my namesake can respond to posts and initiate threads, but when I initiate a thread, the "Views" reference in the index header always shows "0" regardless of how many people have viewed it.

The "warn" levels mean things which the mods are remaining silent about. And, the warn level associated with a poster means that you won't get a fair break from mods who aren't irrational.

After three warnings, the member is no longer a member here. One warning is valued at 33%.

I would recommend that you contact Scott Adams (admin) and discuss this with him. Some concerns regarding warning are very legitimate and worthy of discussion.

I recommend that anyone with a "warn" level abandon your user name, and register a new one. Why would you do otherwise? I'm done with this one.

..

A warning is issued due to a violation of the Board Rules. The Board Rules are simple and few. An individual poster can view his/her own warning level ( with the exception of the moderators). Individual warning levels are not vieweable by the general membership.

A warning of 100% will terminate membership on this Board. Warning are viewed by all the moderators as well as the Administration and discussed as to the appropriate action.

If there is a concern regarding the inappropriate behavior of any moderator, I would recommend that they be reported to the administration for a review of the circumstances.

I am sorry that you are displeased with the way things are run around here.

Sorry, but this is simply not true.

I think you may misunderstand what counts as a view. Looking at your own topic doesn't count, no matter how many times you do it. The topic you started today, titled "Celiac - The Autoimmune Connection, A quantum leap is coming" now has 22 views, which means that members, other than the topic starter, and not counting moderators, have viewed it 22 times.

This behaves the same way, no matter who starts the topic, and warnings have no effect on it.

The thread I started, the one you refer to, showed "0" views until after my post above. Another thread I started displayed the same way. Perhaps you are not aware of the capablities of other mods.

I should have also mentioned that some statistical information is updated on a cyclical basis as opposed to real time. I believe that it is done hourly, so all new topics show 0 views for a while. If you watch an active thread you will see that the view counter does not go up for a while, and then jumps a number of points at once. It is nothing sinister, and it is the same for all members. The list of visitors to your profile is similarly updated periodically and not in real time. The moderators can not do anything to alter this.

veggienft,

Honestly, it's all pretty cut and dried. There are 4 board rules--anyone who breaks one gets a "warning" or a 33% level. Three of these are cause for that member to be banned from the board.

Peter explained better that I can about the views and how/when they are displayed. One thing has nothing to do with the other.

All of the moderators adhere to the same rules and the way our forum is set up, every mod and the administrator are fully aware of any action taken by a single one of us.

There is nothing secret going on behind the scenes--if you have any more questions about how this board is run, feel free to PM Scott (admin).

You have to pass a 346 page entrance exam, to include an IQ test. You have to possess the ability to tell someone that they are acting like a jerk in the most diplomatic of ways. You have to clear the Board of SPAM, even though you want to order every item for yourself. (I already have a closet full of Nike shoes). Yeah, well, that's about it. :o:P:lol:

SERIOUSLY, we welcome all those who would like to help this community run smoothly and devote some time to give back. Anyone interested in a moderation position, please contact Scott Adams (admin) our host. :) Volunteers (victims ;) ) are always welcome.

Gosh I just read the whole thread.

Sorry I didn't read it sll before just popped onto page #2

Frankly, I went to do a 'cut /paste' yesterday of something I'd posted and with my avatar and all that info on top with my info ---and noticed for the first time ever the 'warning %' thing.

I hadn't seen it before ever so now it's all explained

I'm sure others will benifit from these FIY posts.

Thanks moderators for clearing it up as warnings are a serious matter.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
