When I post, on the left hand side where it shows the summary of my profile, why do I have an icon and text that says "Watched"? What does this mean?
It means you received a warning for one or more of your posts. It goes away automatically if no more warnings are incurred.
After what time period or after how many posts? Can I see which post was the offending one so that I know what not to say to prevent this in the future?
violation of rules 2 and 20 of the TOS. I am not sure what specific threads. It goes away so many points per day.
