With more than one admin member now on board (four counting myself, the others being gougou, imron
and wushijiao) we've turned on a feature of the forums software that helps us manage communication
with members. This was originally named the 'infraction' system, but that was a bit scarier than
we wanted to be, so it's now called the 'admin note' system. The vast majority of people will
never get one, but I want to put this here to refer to if necessary.

Basically if there's an issue with a post - off-topic, inappropriate language, etc - you may get
an 'admin note' in your pm box. This will include a quote of the post, a link to it, and a note
from the staff member who sent it. You can reply, just like to a pm.

You'll also find a record of admin notes received on your User Control Panel and your profile.
These are visible only to you and admin users - ie they are private, and you don't need to worry
about other members knowing you have been told off for viagra spam.

Advantage of this is that we can keep track of what action has been taken on what posts - we've
had at least one occasion over the last few months where someone has gotten two pms about one
post, etc.

Getting an admin note doesn't necessarily constitute a warning or that you have in someway broken
some major rule - they might get used for very minor stuff, like having moved a post, asking
someone to use English / Chinese in the appropriate parts of the board, etc. They're basically
just pm's we can keep track of easier. We will use them to deliver warnings / bans when necessary,
but that's a pretty rare event.

Attaching an image of an admin note I got myself during a friendly rough-and-tumble in the admin
forum.

Sorry I couldn't help it even if I just earned my first one.

I love the reason that you cited yourself for...that was the first thing that caught my eye. Need
to be careful Roddy! Imron's patience has it's limits!

roddy -

Oh, that was Imron warning me off. Normally you can't actually do that to an admin - we're also
unbannable, and if I we had the ignore function turned on we'd be unignoreable too. However, at
that point I'd demoted myself for a week or two for a rest from admin duties and he was able to
sneak it in.

Well I got my first one. Very scary experience. Elevated heart rate, rapid breathing, profuse
sweating. Not for the faint of heart. And that's before even opening it.

I'll never cross post again.
