I have looked in the Forum to see what rules of the forum are and I found some basic posting rules but nothing about how the poster's "Warn Levels" work.

Could this be explained?

Can the warn levels disappear with time? Are they time listed?

"Terms of Use" listed here

Nope. You accumulate them until you're gone. Smart people learn from them, fools get banned.

Sciforums gave me a time listed warning, which is an even better idea.

I assume any other forum has more moderators, so they can afford to keep dealing with the same people over and over. With one guy dealing with everything, including spam, it's far too much to ask that he waste his time with cranks and trolls indefinitely.

Well should we share the reasons we get these warnings so we can take preventative action?

Mine came from the death throes of an ultimately banned poster.
Guess it is what I get for poking trolls!
