Options for the Warnings System are found in the Members menu: Members > Warnings
The Warnings System is an optional feature which forum administrators can use as a disciplinary system for users who have not followed the forum's rules. This system allows administrators and moderators to issue warnings to users, and can automatically remove user rights as their warning level increases. The possible disciplinary measures are: Watching a member, Moderating all of a member's posts, and Muting a member.
To enable the Warnings System, check the box for Enable user warning system. To take full advantage of this system, Members menu > Permissions > Post moderation > Enable Post Moderation, should also be checked. If you do not enable post moderation, then the disciplinary measure, moderating all of a member's posts, will not be available.
