What do the jail bars mean?

We don’t explain actions taken against other members, but the mod team agreed on the warning that GA2012MOM received (we were frankly surprised by more than one of her posts that we had to delete). If you look at her profile, can you see that it shows the warning expires on July 6? That seems pretty clear to me.

I just checked the note the moderator wrote her. It was not her first warning,and he did tell her what the infraction was.

Please keep in mind that moderators work VERY hard to do a good job. We don’t make arbitrary decisions. When a long-time user seems to be posting objectionable material, often a moderator will bring it to the attention of the rest of the team before deciding what to do.

I will say it often feels like refereeing arguments among my kids. “He started it!” “No, she did!!” “Why did you punish me and not him?”
“That’s not fair!” And on and on and on…

ML, I don’t see anything about a warning expiration when I look at the profile. Is that supposed to be visible to everyone or just to mods?

Thanks for doing what is really a thankless job, by the way. It’s appreciated.

Thanks for checking, Patsmom. I will mention that to the mods and admins.
