Warning people makes them un-happy. If people are un-happy they may flame. Flames mean more warns are given out.

This is not the best way of making a happy forum.

I went through the IPB language files and changed "warn" to "praise" (along with a few other tweaks). When people are good, you praise them (increase there warn level).
I find kind praise is much better than nasty warnings.

In some forums, warn may be better. In some, praise may be better. Which-ever suits a forum best.



Suggestion: Give IPB admins the option to use the system for warning or for praising.

What's rating mode then?

It is either an option i have yet to find, or an add-on that i wont add-on.

sounds like a good idea

This *could* be accomplished if the warning system went below zero, allowing both praising and warning, right?
