Aaaand if they post about it, anyone, including admins, will be able to see the person bragging about their "90% and not banned yet" "accomplishment". I can see that as a +10% magnet.

That's weak. Real trolls should brag about maintaining 0% after relentlessly s***posting! That's where the real skill is at!

If I could see the %'s of others, this would become into a hierarchy of stupidity. Eventually.
EDIT 1: Not Modula, Percentage.

In other words, if "some bloke" has gotten over a 90% warning level, then he has already reached 100% and already been banned, so he can't post to brag about it.(08-10-2016, 11:36 AM)oZoneRanger(III) Wrote: 2 cents.So , some bloke want to have lets say 95 % warning level and risk banning just that he can take a screen-shot of it and brag in flood "i have 95 % warning level" ?
This will create a situation where certain players are looking to have the high warning level and still stay in-game or on the forums. It rewards trolls with a badge of honor for all to see.
It also seems a bit arbitrary and open to complaints of Bias. What forum behavior warrants a 10% warning? Who do you need to piss off to get it to 50%?
A stop light....Green, Yellow, Red or a Three strikes system, might work just as well, without giving people a numerical goal to aim for and stay under.
I don't believe anyone is that dumb , but if i am wrong he is welcomed to do it , but he better be prepared to be absolutly calm for hole a month or he just rig 6 Month bann to him self !
Also, don't make the mistake of underestimating the stupidity that people can demonstrate. I've done that many times, only to witness levels of stupidity that I didn't think were possible -- until early this year, I was a taxi driver in a community that has a lot of stupid residents (mostly due to inbreeding) -- I've seen way too many examples of stupid/dangerous driving, but the scary part is that some of those drivers carry badges and guns.
