I have a user who was warned on an issue but it was resolved. I would like to learn the warning, since it has been successful resolved. How would I do that?

I’d personally question why you’d have moderators that you can’t trust to be privy to all moderation, but perhaps I’m not understanding your situation.

However, I do not see where the system shows a log of when the user when warned or why. Perhaps I’m missing that? I don’t mean to come off as if I don’t like how Discourse works, and perhaps I’m a weird-o, which is highly possible, just trying to get some information is all. I appreciate all the help.

I think we might be talking at cross purposes. The title of your topic says how do I ‘clear’ warnings so we’ve been responding to that – there is no way to clear a warning. Are you actually asking about how you can find the details of a warning?

Are you actually asking about how you can find the details of a warning? I apologize for being unclear. I actually would like to clear the warning but since that isn’t possible. I would like to know how I can view the history of where the warning was given and more particularly when. I have not had time to really dig into a lot of the moderation features of Discourse yet, which I would like to, but work and school keep me very busy. Normally I would play around with it until I found it on my own but this seemed like it might be more expedient. Sorry if I was confusing, and if etiquette here would lead to me doing a whole new post, I would be happy to do so.

A moderator does not always need to issue an official warning. I myself quite often send “friendly messages” at another forum I’m a moderator for. I consider them to be a kind of “free pass” for a first offense.

Well, to go into more detail. I have a user, which has a warning. I don’t know why, I’ve asked my Moderators but none of them remember doing it. Now I have gone through a few Moderators in the early days of setting things up, so it is possible one of them did it. I know the person personally and I can’t imagine why they were issued a warning, but I can’t find it anywhere when it was issued. This is what lead to the small issue of wanting to clear it. Since that isn’t possible, I have become curious as to why it was done and when and by whom. I know this is a bit specific and a lot of information that isn’t needed, but that is this minor situation in a nutshell.

I thought warnings appeared on top of a user’s public profile…let me look. Nope…just the count, no link to them. [image] If you have the staff notes plugin installed warnings are automatically added as a note to the user, but that only helps if you had the plugin installed before issuing the warnings.

This should help in tracking it down. It requires needing to know the member’s id -- [params] -- int :member_id = 1 SELECT user_warnings.topic_id , user_warnings.user_id , user_warnings.created_by_id , user_warnings.created_at , user_warnings.updated_at , users.username AS moderator FROM user_warnings JOIN users ON user_warnings.created_by_id = users.id WHERE user_warnings.user_id = :member_id [warnings-query]

What is that, where would I put those commands in?

Unfortunately, Warnings aren’t logged. But it should be possible do dig up some information using the Data Explorer plugin.
