How to delete a warning?

[ToeKnee]

On my forum smf2.1.3 one of the moderators issued a warning to a member by mistake through "member profile- action- issue a warning", how can this warning be removed? I cannot seem to find a way to do it as admin not can my moderator. Thank you.

One option is to go to Moderation Center/Members/Watched members

and then click on the warning level. Then reset the warning level to 0%. It's a little bit confusing, it took me quite some time to figure it out, too.

Or Profile -> Action Tab -> Issue A Warning

Put the level at zero.

Yes, it's basically designed so that you can not simply "remove" a warning, but you can issue a new manual warning level so that both actions will stay in the warning history.

Thanks for the answers. I was hoping there was some way of simply removing the warning completely. Already set to zero so I'll see if anyone else has any ideas. Again, thanks.

Ideas as to what? There is, very purposefully, no way to remove it from the admin logs.

But, if it's set to 0%, what does it matter?

When set to 0%, the warning should be removed. Can you please clarify if the user in question still has a warning level or no?

If you want, you can deactivate the warning system in the admin section as well.

Setting the warning level to 0% undoes any functional effects of the previously issued warning, so that's all you need to do in order to restore the user's normal permissions and abilities on the forum.

If that isn't good enough for your needs, then my guess is that there is some social reason why you want to make it seem as though the warning was never issued at all. In that case, I suggest that you simply enter "Previous warning was issued incorrectly" in the Reason for Warning field when you set the warning level to 0%. It is always better to acknowledge and correct a mistake than it is to try to pretend the mistake didn't happen.

As the OP was here after the last post without answering any of the questions asked, I'm marking this solved.
