Okay so I was checking my profile page and i see this on the right hand side:

and I never had this before and I know this for sure because I checked other people's profile pages too and they didn't have this.
I know it is 0% but I still have no idea why it is even there..

Has anyone got this before and know why you get this?

Thanks.

Sorry if I posted in the wrong part of the forum

everyone has it but you can only see your own except for mods and admin. if a person is getting out of line a mod can issue them a warning, after 5 warnings the system automatically bans the user.

that is normal and you only see your own. If you get in trouble, you get a warning and would see a percentage in red blocks. You are fine though 0%.

The warning system is mostly for the mods to be able to keep track of why someone was brought up for acting a certain way. It feels ridiculous to have to police our peers, and for the most part we don't have to - but with any forum that grows to this size, there's bound to be those that need to be steered the right direction.

That is useful to know. I had wondered about it too.
